A search in the Larne Times archive found pictures from between 2009 and 2012 of the annual Autumnfest.
Within the walled garden, there were opportunities to discover more about nature from local environmental groups - and creative ways of capturing young people’s interest included scarecrow and conker competitions as well as craft activities.
Hopefully, these photos will bring alive again the sights, sounds and smells of autumn for those who attended back then.
