We ended up calling in at the Autumn Festival over lunchtime today. It’s on again tomorrow in Crawfordsburn Park if you fancy what you see.
There was food ...
... and pressed apple to drink.
There were crafts for young children (and us older kids too) including planting acorns in a decorated pot ...
... and making creepy spider bookmarks.
There were pigs ...
apples to look at, discuss and buy
and apple trees to purchase and plant.
Organic fruit and vegetables on sale from Helen’s Bay Organic stall.
Not to mention the live music
and the statutory man on stilts providing witty banter to all around and who had a distinct advantage when it came to the welly throwing competition!
Thank you Environment & Heritage Service (EHS NI)!

Yep, we went there too - it was a great day out. The kids loved the animals (although the pigs stank), and we topped it off by taking a nice walk along the beach.
I'll have to do a little write-up later on too.
Did you try your hand at the archery?
No - we stuck to pigs and donkeys, and the hand-spun carousel. Things that an under-three-year-old would cope with!
That's my mate Chris on the stilts - whilst he was there i was dressed as a french chef for the launch of Ratatouille in Coleraine. From the looks of things i'd rather have been in Crawfordsburn.
We called into the park this morning, lots of people about, great day out!!
Who was the guy 'working' Cynthia Crawfordsburn? Best entertainment all year!!!! Worth the visit just to see him entertain the kids (and the adults)
