You are here: Home \ OCTOBER PLENTY AT BOROUGH MARKET
15 October 2008
ON OCTOBER 26, Borough will once again play host to the October Plenty festival.
This is a glorious autumn harvest celebration, mixing ancient seasonal customs and theatre with contemporary festivity. Linking two of London's most olde worlde features, this event begins on Bankside, in the shadow of Shakespeare's Globe, and finishes among the stalls of Borough food market where Apple Day celebrations are taking place.
Attractions include a Corn Queene effigy, the Berry Man, performances of raucous 16th century plays, the Story Orchard - where children can listen to traditional British tales - conker fights, apple bobbing and much more.
A wonderful revival of ancient customs and a great way for Londoners to remember the pleasures of this season, all for free.
