'THE 'Taste of Autumn Festival' runs at RHS Garden Rosemoor from October 22 to 23, offering displays of apples and pumpkins with a host of cultivation advice from experts.

Cookery demonstrations will show what can be done with the last of the season's produce from the garden. There will also be demonstrations of traditional autumn crafts from wood turning and carving to basket and willow weaving.

Sunday is Pumpkin Day with an opportunity for children and adults to 'get carving' themselves — pumpkins will be provided.
