How to enter

Entry information is available from the Fair Office

Entry details for the 2026 Harvest Festival are not published here yet. If you are planning to enter, call the Fair Office rather than waiting for this page to update. Entry deadlines for competitions usually fall before the event itself.

[REPLACE: HARVEST_ENTRY_PROCESS - state the entry deadline for each department, whether entries go through the online system at trinity.fairwire.com or on paper, any entry fee, and when entries must be delivered and collected. This is the most important missing information on this page.]
