Tickets & Visiting Info

No, there is no need to book for strawberry picking. Simply arrive and pay a ยฃ1 per person entry fee on the gate (which is redeemable against your strawberries).

Collect a punnet from the Patch, head off to pick your own strawberries, then return to have them weighed and paid for.

Yes please. Strawberry availability can change with the crop, the weather and how busy the fields have been, so we always recommend checking our web page or social media for opening days and availability before setting off.

There is a small ยฃ1 entry fee per person on the gate which is non-redeemable against your strawberry purchase.

Yes, when available. We often have pre-picked strawberries in the shop, subject to the crop.

We do our best to make the farm as accessible as possible. As a working farm, many areas are in the fields, so ground conditions can vary depending on the weather. Some wheelchairs and buggies are more suitable than others.

We always enjoy welcoming visitors with accessibility needs, so if youโ€™d like to get in touch ahead of your visit, weโ€™re very happy to talk things through.

Yes, we have toilets on site, including a baby changing facility.

Unfortunately not, with the exception of registered assistance dogs. As a working farm with livestock and food crops, weโ€™re unable to allow dogs on site.

Before You Set Off

Please check our social media for the latest strawberry availability, opening details and event updates. As a working family farm, timings can shift with the season, and we always do our utmost to keep visitors updated as quickly as we can.
