For kids

Having fun is imperative at Harvest so there will be lots of new and improved children's activities. Set on a real working farm, the festival has an adventure play area and a dedicated programme of kids' entertainment, including Tall Stories presenting The Gruffalo, den building, face painting, animal tours, cooking lessons, craft workshops, and a butterfly house.

Parking fee

Car drivers will be asked for a £5 'green' charge per car for the weekend. (Hybrid/Electric/LPG vehicles will be exempt) This will enable Jimmy to restore the wheat field after the event, minimise carbon footprint and implement the very best traffic management team. Festival organisers are donating a percentage to their chosen charity Green Suffolk.

About the farm

Visitors to Harvest at Jimmy's also have the opportunity to take part in Nature Trails, Woodland Walks, relax in the gardens, and nose around the Farm Shop. There will also be the chance to stay the whole weekend with some fantastic boutique camping being laid on at the heart of the farm.
