The best of local food will be on show together with bees, poultry, day-old chicks, stunning flower displays and an Allis-Chalmers Model B tractor, dating back to 1948. The vintage tractor along with a single-furrow plough has been supplied. by Terry Sparrow of Sutton.
The harvest festival exhibition is open from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and 12pm to 4pm on Sunday, the start of the harvest hymns of praise service. Admission is free.
