Harvest it!

...a festival of autumn delights

Sunday 23 September, 2pm-5pm.

Free event for all in Myatt's Fields Park, Camberwell, London SE5.

Harvest it! will transform the Park into a bountiful village of delights with collective artworks and spectacular performances with the participation of hundreds of local people. Join us to celebrate harvest in the heart of the city!

A major participatory programme, involving artists working with city farms, allotment organisations, schools, choirs and other local groups will explore the theme of harvest, weaving together multiple cultures and revealing new expressions. On the day there will be a giant sculptural figure adorned with produce grown in the park, a massive maze, live music, tango and Latin American dance, circus and carnival, collective embroidery and stitching, and much more. Audiences can savour food and flavours, take part in craft making activities and take home harvest keepsakes. Touch tour and audio description of the event by Pickles Norman at 3pm. Meet at the Glass House near the Knatchbull Road entrance. Produced in collaboration with home, Harvest It! is leading on from Light it!, the spectacular communal celebration which attracted over 3,000 people last year.
