Be our VIP for the Day at Toby’s Harvest Festival

Make your day at the Harvest Festival even more special by upgrading to our fabulous VIP experience, sponsored by Hawksmoor Investment Management. VIP’s have all-day access to an exclusive VIP area where you can relax and enjoy morning coffee and pastries, a complimentary glass of bubbles and award-winning locally produced food while mingling with other VIP’s and our celebrity speakers.

The VIP area is located inside Forde Abbey itself, in the Refectory, once the dining room of the Abbey’s Cistercian monks. Here you can relax and enjoy morning coffee and pastries, a complimentary glass of bubbles and award-winning locally produced food while mingling with other VIPs and celebrity speakers.

Forde’s Lower Refectory used to be the dining room for the Monks – or at least the vegetarians amongst the group. Those with a penchant for meat, dined in The Upper Refectory upstairs. Nowadays, it’s a more informal affair and filled with paintings of the family (including Alice’s mother with her prize-winning Ruby Reds) and used for supper clubs and meetings. 

An exciting gardening event in the West Country calendar, Toby’s VIP Experience is the perfect place to meet up with family and friends or offer hospitality to valued clients and work colleagues, giving you a comfortable base from which to explore the Festival at your leisure.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Entrance to the Festival
  • All-day access to the VIP area
  • Complimentary glass of fizz
  • Morning tea, coffee & pastries
  • All-day soft drinks
  • Canapes & light buffet lunch
