HARVEST THEMES
A display/installation needs to be harvest related. It could just include Harvest fruits or Autumn colours, or you could give the display a theme for example:
* A Harvest hymn such as We Plough the Fields and Scatter; All Things Bright and Beautiful; For the Beauty of the Earth
* Harvest associations – scarecrows and corn dollies
* Harvest produce – pumpkins, vegetables, sunflowers
* Eco Harvest
* Harvest-related books – Laurie Lee’s Cider with Rosie
DISPLAY/INSTALLATION SPACE
We have the following space options, with size/location details listed on the booking form:
* Floral pedestals of assorted sizes which could either be single or grouped as a duo/trio
* Standard gopak tables (180 cm long x 75 cm wide)
* Other mid/work surface height flat surfaces
* Quirky church spaces including higher level window ledges; bench seats and backs; altar rails; chancel niches
