Harvest Festival
All details of the Harvest Festival programme…


Celebrate harvest at the farm
This is the culmination of our first growing season at Lauriston Farm, and the final event in our Dandelion 2022 programme with North Edinburgh Arts. Our community, with the resident artists, musicians, writers, makers and performers, have been building up to this throughout July and August, and you’ll get to see it all come together in a parade, puppets, live music, a Crankie Theatre Show and more.
All welcome and it’s free, with no need to book – just come along.
You can also come along early for a tour of the Market Garden at 12:45pm – meet at the green portacabin (just inside the gate off the Toby Carvery car park) and one of our growers will meet you.
