Celebrate harvest festival at Vicar Lane

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.

Between 10am-12pm, visitors are invited to bring their produce and crafts to enter into a series of competition categories. These include best grown vegetable, best Grown Fruit, best Cake, mini garden creation and a 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.

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.

Between 10am-3pm, young gardeners can also have a go at making a mini scarecrow at the centre’s free workshop. These can then be entered into a competition to be judged at 3pm.

Sarah Bowler, Tenant and Community Liaison Manager said: “We are thrilled to be celebrating Harvest Festival and inviting families back to show us what they have grown since Easter. We hope that visitors will also be generous in giving to Church of St Mary and All Saints community kitchen and food bank”.
