Parishioners arrive for Harvest Festival in Litchfield on a fine early autumn day
Harvest Festival at Litchfield is especially important as the community is entirely based on the Litchfield Estate. We celebrate the end of harvest and the start of autumn in traditional fashion, and the church is decorated with vegetables, fruit and flowers as well as sheaves of corn and a woven loaf of bread in the shape of a stook. The foods are auctioned off afterwards in the village hall.
In 2020, because of the pandemic, we held the Harvest Festival on the village green
