Dalemain Harvest Festival – September 14th 2025

Dalemain are hosting a traditional celebration of the harvest, offering visitors a chance to explore the importance of the Harvest at Dalemain and in Cumbria throughout the centuries. Sunday 14 September 2025, 10:00 – 16:00

There will be talks, activities and guided tours, to be enjoyed by everyone from families to gardening experts. As well as a selection of hand-picked nurseries and craft stalls from the North of England, we are planning to be there to press apples. Visitors should bring clean apples (hand picked and washed, not rotten) and a container for their juice (about 1 litre per 2kg of apples).

There will also be vintage tractors and a visit from guest of honour, mascot Philbert the Squirrel!

Herbs and apples have been harvested from the gardens and will be served as part of thedelicious Autumnal menu in the Great Barn Tearoom.
