This autumn we will be celebrating the delicious food grown on site with a Harvest Festival. Join us on Sunday 20th September, 12 - 3pm, to mark the bounty of the season. Garden trails, kid’s activities, apple pressing, delicious dishes and cocktails will all feature our edible garden!
Discover what we grow and what can be made with it. From tasty pickles and preserves, warming comfort food and refreshing drinks, you will have the opportunity to try and buy. Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase on the day. Pre-booking is required if you want a hearty seasonal hot meal. All food will be vegetarian, unfortunately we are unable to cater for other dietary requirements.
This is a free event. Please book a free ticket in advance so we know how many people to expect.
