Blackberry Picking
One of Seamus Heaney’s most famous poems - “Blackberry Picking” - is set in August.
By an astonishing coincidence, one of Maidstone Canoe Club's most famous events - “Pool Session” - is also set in August, on the 20th. Book here!
Only one of them has a Nobel Prize for Literature though:

Late August, given heavy rain and sun
For a full week, the blackberries would ripen.
At first, just one, a glossy purple clot
Among others, red, green, hard as a knot.
You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet
Like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it
Leaving stains upon the tongue and lust for
Picking. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/50981/blackberry-picking
