Final tickets are available for the historic East Brent Harvest Home which is set to be held for a 169th time on Saturday (August 8th).
The East Brent Harvest Home is the oldest and longest-running surviving communal harvest festival in the UK, held annually in Somerset since 1857. It features a colorful village parade, a traditional harvest luncheon, and community entertainment.
Hundreds of people will flock to the long-running annual event returns with more attractions than ever this year.
A spokesperson says final tickets are on sale from the Brent Knoll Inn and Brent House Farm Shop at £28 for adults and £12 for children under 14. Gates open at 11:30am.
The traditional procession will be held at around 1.30pm with a marching band, puddings, cheese and the harvest loaf, a giant six-foot harvest loaf carried on a stretcher.
