This August, VisitEngland’s Best New Tourism Business, Ad Gefrin: Anglo Saxon Museum and Whisky Distillery marks the Anglo-Saxon season of Lammas (harvest) with The Gaderun, a one-day celebration of Northumbria’s rich food heritage and culture co-curated by Ad Gefrin and Local Heroes in partnership with Visit Northumberland. Local Heroes is a regional storytelling platform that through live events, film, podcasts, documentaries and products, shine a light on the people, places and stories that define, inspire and connect communities. Taking place on Sunday 3rd August, this flagship immersive experience brings together local farmers, makers, bakers, chefs, creatives, musicians, storytellers and communities for a modern-day harvest festival rooted in the land, people and produce of Northumberland and the wider North East region. Lammas was a time of thanksgiving and communal feasting in the Ango-Saxon era, marking the gathering of the first grains, ensuring sustenance and prosperity for the winter months ahead. Ad Gefrin’s Gaderung celebrates the unique Anglo-Saxon heritage, ancient hospitality and contemporary produce of the region, as part of a wider Lammas programme this Autumn.
