Celebrate the changing seasons with Hærfest – a gathering to honour the harvest and ancient traditions.
Join us at Avalon Archaeology as we continue our journey through the Wheel of the Year, marking this special occasion with rituals and crafts steeped in tradition. Together, we will bless and protect our Longhall for the coming season, weave corn dollies in tribute to the grain, and try our hand at baking fireside bannocks.
What to Expect
- Seasonal Rituals – Bless and protect the Longhall for the coming months.
- Traditional Crafts – Have a go at weaving corn dollies, a historical craft and harvest tradition dating back to ancient times.
- Fireside Baking – Learn how to make simple bannocks, a simple and hearty bread.
