I don’t have children myself, so I don’t know – do schools still celebrate harvest festival? Traditionally scheduled to coincide with the annual appearance of the harvest moon – which is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox – harvest festival was a celebration of the busiest time in the growing season coming to a close. Corn dollies – or harvest tokens or trophies as they’re otherwise known – are small figures traditionally woven from the last sheaf to be gathered. Perhaps there's a ritual that's calling to you as a way of marking the end of the season. With this year’s harvest moon set to rise on 7 October, there’s still a few days left to plan your own harvest festival.
