Farming past, present and future will be celebrated inside Ely Cathedral during the annual harvest festival (11 and 12 October).

This year's event marks the NFU's centenary with displays looking at the recent history of farming and showcasing the wide variety of quality produce grown in the Fens.

Sheep are back inside the Cathedral this year and the displays also include an Allis-Chalmers Model B tractor, dating back to 1948, which farmer Trevor Bedford will be driving into position on Friday 10 October.

As well as the NFU and Ely Cathedral Flower Guild, organisations taking part include the Farmland Museum at Denny Abbey, Cambridgeshire Beekeepers and the National Institute of Agricultural Botany, based in Cambridge.

The harvest festival exhibition is open from 10am to 5pm on Saturday 11 October and 12pm to 4pm on Sunday 12 October, the start of the harvest songs of praise service. Admission to the Cathedral is free on both days.

Charities supported by the event this year are Cambridge Food Bank and the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution.
