CELEBRATE HARVEST FESTIVAL

Join us for a Harvest festival celebration on Saturday 21^st September from 10am-4pm.

This event follows on from the Easter seed planting the centre hosted in April. Vicar Lane would love to see people bring back their produce grown from the seeds and enter them into the Harvest competition.

Harvest Competition

Between 10am-12pm, visitors are invited to bring their produce and crafts to enter into a series of competition categories.

Categories:

Best Cake

Mini garden creation on a tray

Drawing or painting of Chesterfield.

The competition is free to enter and open to all ages.

Judging will take place at 12pm and prizes will be awarded to each category.

First, second and third place winners will receive a gift voucher of their choice to spend at Vicar Lane. These can be collected at the end of the event at 4pm.

Food Bank

Produce can either be taken home or donated to Church of St Mary and All Saint’s community kitchen. Visitors will also be able to donate non-perishable items to the food bank on the day.
