Visitors help to celebrate the harvest at Sacrewell

The smell of toasted marshmallows, baked bread and real ale greeted visitors to the Sacrewell Harvest Festival at the weekend, as more than 900 people dropped by to celebrate with the team. Working with food producers, countryside crafters and other charities in the area, the visitor centre put on a feast for the senses to celebrate the harvest and educate people about where their food comes from. Live music was performed by Pennyless, George Linton, The D’Ukes of Rutland and Fruitenty Band, as visitors tucked into apple juice pressed by Stamford Orchard Group and baked bread on site in the centre’s multi-award winning watermill and bakery. Events and programming officer Jack Pishhorn said: “It’s great to see so many people helping us to celebrate the harvest in this way.” Photos: David Lowndes
