Celebrate the apple harvest with traditional seasonal fun. There will be Morris Dancers, family craft activities, games for old and young, a tombola, and a select group of stall holders selling their wares. Spot the knitted apples and harvest mice in the house and enjoy beautiful decorations in the church. Normal admission prices apply. There are additional charges for some activities. To buy from the stall holders, please bring cash (the internet reception is patchy for their card readers). Due to the drought and low apple harvest, there won't be apples for sale this year, but there'll be loads of fun to be had. If you want to join in the Harvest Foraging Walk please book on the separate event.
