Tucked in the picturesque and fertile Harcourt Valley is a hub of apple production and its annual festival is this weekend on Saturday 8 March from 10am to 3pm at Harcourt Leisure Centre.
Harcourt Applefest 2025 features activities to please every member of the family and it has grown so much that it has now spread to a larger location. Highlights include the apple-themed baking and eating competitions, local produce, an art show and even ferret races and camel rides. Local kids have been busy creating for the Lego competition and their builds will be on display. There’s a huge market and live music all day from the Thompsons Foundry Band, Vintage Vixens and more. It all sounds so appealing!
