Celebrate Autumn at Canons Ashby's Apple Harvest Weekend
Visitors are invited to celebrate the changing season at Canons Ashby's annual Apple Harvest Weekend, taking place on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September from 10.30am to 4pm.
This popular yearly event at the National Trust property in Northamptonshire offers traditional harvest-themed fun for all ages. Visitors can enjoy performances from Morris dancers, family craft activities, traditional games, a tombola and a selection of stallholders selling seasonal products and handmade gifts. Inside the house, visitors can spot harvest mice displays, while the church will feature eye catching harvest decorations. While this summer’s drought may mean fewer apples to buy, there’s no shortage of fun, entertainment and fantastic experiences to look forward to.
As part of the weekend guests can also join a Harvest Foraging Walk led by local expert Lizzy Farmer, founder of Tellus Mater. Running from 10.30am to 11.30am on both days, the guided walk explores hedgerows and woodland in search of edible fruits, herbs, mushrooms and plants, while introducing participants to safe and sustainable foraging practices.
Whether you're looking for a family day out, seasonal entertainment or a chance to discover the flavours of the countryside, Canons Ashby's Apple Harvest Weekend promises a wonderful celebration of autumn.
