Go along to the small Mission Church at 12noon where the Townsfolk will be singing hymns in celebration of this year’s harvest. Afterwards join the celebrations in the Pleasure Gardens, where there will be an open air service from 2pm. The best of the season’s produce will also be on display for all to admire.
