The Festival takes place on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th of September when visitors will be invited to come along and join in. For those with pets, it’s an opportunity to have them blessed at a special harvest blessing at 2 pm by local minister Sharon Meyer, accompanied by the Preston Brook Brass Band.
Throughout the weekend visitors will also be able to see traditional spinning displays and take part in a number of harvest-related craft activities, including making corn dollies and Harvest story time. The Cheshire Guild of Woodturners will demonstrate pole lathing and wood-turning and the traction engine will be running and on display.
There will also be autumnal cookery demos in our new Clydesdale Barn, using seasonal fruits collected from Tatton’s Gardens.
