Join a harvest celebration at Devon gallery

By Caroline King - October 3, 2019Posted in : Art, Exhibition, Food & Drink, Music

Celebrate the autumn with a free apple themed event in Devon, featuring toffee apples, apple puppets, harvest themed face painting and a pop up bar.

Apple Day 2019 - Thelma Hulbert Gallery, Devon
Apple Day at Thelma Hulbert Gallery, Devon

Celebrate Harvest time this Saturday (5th October) at the Thelma Hulbert Gallery (THG) as they host a free Apple Day event.

Visitors will be able to press apples and make their own apple juice, try green woodworking with The Bodgers, and toast mini toffee apples. There will also be the opportunity to climb inside Gail McGarva’s magical Storyboat, make an apple puppet and get decorated with some Harvest-themed face painting.

Visitors can also enjoy the THG autumnal gallery garden with live music and a pop-up bar.

Apple Day is part of the programme of events accompanying new exhibition, Well Trodden Wrong Ways (on until 26th October), showing commissioned work by two South West artists, Jo Lathwood and Paul Blakemore. The exhibition explores the Jurassic Coast through drawings, films and sculpture.

Visitors can have a go at de-coding Lathwood’s detailed coastal drawings and join in a coded garden treasure hunt (with prizes, hurrah).

When: 5th October 2019, 2pm – 5pm
Where: Thelma Hulbert Gallery, Elmfield House, Dowell Street, Honiton, Devon EX14 1LX
£: Free but donations welcome
