Winterbourne Harvest Day

After a little rest, our Harvest Day is back for 2026!

October was the time in the Medieval calendar to celebrate a successful harvest and where better to celebrate than in a genuine medieval barn?!
Permission to host an October fayre in Winterbourne was granted by King Richard II in 1393 to Blanch, the great-granddaughter of Sir Thomas de Bradeston who commissioned The Barn to be built in 1342, so we are delighted to still be upholding that tradition over 600 years later.

Join us as we bring back some of your much loved barn favourites for all the feel of a village harvest fayre.
The day will include something for all the family including Morris Dancers, wandering children’s entertainers, live music and (of course) ferret racing!

Pre book tickets now for the early bird rate and to beat the queues!
Tickets booked after 4th October, and on the door, will be £7 for adults and £2 for children.

We will be operating a park and ride service from Winterbourne Academy (BS36 1JL) with a shuttle bus to and from the Barn site all throughout the day. Both the car park and the shuttle bus are free at Winterbourne Academy. Just park up and see our steward for the next bus.
If you can indicate if you will need a parking space at the time of booking then this is very helpful for us managing numbers, but indicating you will need a parking space does not guarantee one.
