October Plenty
On Sunday 28th October the Corn Queene, the Berry Man and the Hobby Horse will appear as part of October Plenty, a harvest celebration presented by the Lion’s Part theatre company to celebrate Apple Day. At Borough Market, the Brogdale Horticultural Trust will be laying out a wide variety of old English apples, often not available anywhere else, for visitors to buy. On a specially constructed stage the company will perform Syr John Falstaff in Love taken from Shakespeare’s quarto version of the Merry Wives of Windsor and, in the Story Orchard, children will be able to hang wishes from the branches and listen to traditional harvest tales.
