The Chiltern Open Air Museum is inviting visitors to step back in time for its Harvest Weekend.
The event will take place on September 27 and 28, from 10am to 5pm, celebrating the sights, sounds, and traditions of a rural harvest.
Visitors can look forward to vegetable displays, apple pressing, horse and cart rides, sheepdog demonstrations, traditional baking, music, Morris dancing, and Tudor re-enactors.
Families can also enjoy heritage crafts, working demonstrations, and interactive displays.
The outdoor museum is home to over 30 reconstructed buildings and has a working heritage farm, gardens, woodland, and allotment.
Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the threshing machine and its role in separating grain from straw over a century ago.
The event will also provide insights into the Swing Riots, a pivotal moment in agricultural history.
The event will also feature a dulcimer music performance, and sheepdogs herding Oxford Down sheep, a rare breed with a proud local history.
Visitors can explore historic rural skills in action, including bodging, charcoal kiln and saw pit demonstrations.
There will also be a small number of craft and produce stalls featuring Hooked on Leaves, the Middlesex Woodturners and COAM Apple Juice.
The museum said: "Whether you’re fascinated by farming, love history, or are simply looking for a wholesome, hands-on day out, Harvest Weekend is a celebration of rural life not to be missed."
