Harvest Festival of Colour

Save the date! Harvest Festival returns to Florence Court on Saturday 26 October and Sunday 27 October 2024, 11am-4pm.

About Harvest Festival

We held our first Harvest Festival in October 2022.  It started out as a community event celebrating the rich history of Florence Court Estate. It has since grown, and in partnership with Tully Mill, the event now brings together some of the best food producers in Fermanagh and the border counties.

This year is going to be even bigger and better, with a fantasic line up of food and drink vendors, and a new craft quarter with local artists and makers.

With kids' activities, self-led house tours, live music and face painting, Harvest Festival is fast becoming one of the highlights in Fermanagh's autumn events calendar.
