Harvestfest is dedicated to providing a warm and friendly environment for members of the Pagan and Heathen community to gather for the purpose of shared learning, ritual, workshops and fellowship in a wonderful outdoor woodland setting.  The central theme of Harvestfest centers on the creation of an effigy of the Corn King, and culminates in his sacrifice during the main ritual.

Harvestfest is open to all members of the Pagan and Heathen communities world wide.
