Play games like Konk a Crow and Ring a Cob in the CORNival area. Compete in corn shucking races and learn how to make a corn husk doll. Enjoy both historic and modern cooking demonstrations (using corn as the main ingredient, of course), and discover the irresistible charm of English country dancing in the barn. Traverse a kid-sized mini maize maze and design a one-of-a-kind scarecrow. Tour the 18th-century Manor House and Mill, and watch how corn is ground on a quern stone. Enjoy live folk music and watch candle-making demonstrations (NEW this year!).
Other maize-inspired food selections courtesy of Geordane’s include sweet corn gazpacho soup, corn dog muffins, veggie corn burgers, hot dogs with homemade corn relish, corn salsa and corn chips, corn chili, corn on the cob, plus sweet corn ice cream from the Blue Pig and draft beers and draft root beer from Captain Lawrence Brewery.
