About

Harvest is an important time of year and marks the end of the growing season when crops are finally ready for gathering and processing. Explore our exhibit buildings, decorated for harvest, and learn about traditional harvest activities. Roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty with potato picking, apple harvesting, and corn grinding. We'll have threshing demonstrations, craft activities to try, and traditional music sessions. Watch 'Autumn Equinox' archive film in our original Picture House, with support from Film Hub NI.

About Harvest:
In years gone by, rural communities would come together during harvest season to help each other gather crops and store them for the winter months. The spirit of cooperation and camaraderie was evident as neighbours supported one another in this labour-intensive process. There were always jobs to be done in the Harvest season; vegetables and fruits to be picked, crops to be harvested, corn to be threshed and ground, flax to be pulled and food to be preserved in preparation for the long winter months.

What to know:
-This Harvest event will take place on Saturday 21st September from 10:00 to 17:00
-Suitable for families and all ages.
