Harvest at Ulster Folk Museum


In celebration of Good Relations Week 2024 and its theme of ‘OpportUNITY,’ join us at the Ulster Folk Museum on Saturday, 21st September for a special Harvest event. From 10:00 to 17:00, explore our exhibit buildings adorned for harvest and engage in traditional activities such as potato picking, apple harvesting, and corn grinding. This family-friendly event will feature threshing demonstrations, craft activities, and traditional music sessions, alongside a screening of the ‘Autumn Equinox’ archive film in our original Picture House, supported by Film Hub NI.

Harvest season historically brought communities together to support each other in gathering and preparing crops, embodying the spirit of cooperation and camaraderie. This event not only celebrates the end of the growing season but also aligns with the week’s focus on unity and shared cultural heritage, offering a meaningful way to connect with both our past and each other.
