On the day, the home will also be hosting a Harvest Craft Festival where guests will be able to enjoy a traditional barbecue and music from Bob Dainty. Guests are also encouraged to bring their own apples to enjoy making fresh juice using the home’s apple press. In true Harvest Festival fashion, the home has also invited along three tractors for guests to experience alongside making scarecrows with the activities team.
Each year, Harvest Festival celebrates the time when crops have been gathered from fields and people can reflect and show gratitude for the food that they have.It dates back to when people relied on local crops for food and famers would give thanks for a good harvest.
