Our Arrival & First Impressions

Sneaking underneath for hidden gems

we come here every year and every year we leave feeling like we've just been robbed hahaha but it is one of our favourite "start of the summer" activities.

You must book online to book a time slot and they actually go quickly of a weekend. It costs ÂŁ2.50 per person to book. (So that's a tenner for a family of 4 just to turn up haha)

Activities Breakdown

Delicious strawberries

This is our fave fruit picking spot.

there is so much produce to pick, we picked blackberries and strawberries to bring home (and a few raspberries and blueberries for the kids to have a taste haha)

Food & Drink

The strawberries are genuinely the best strawberries we've ever had. They are SO juicy and flavourful. The blueberries are also delicious.

We also bought the kids and ice cream, we all had a drink and shared a freshly cooked pizza from the outdoor restaurant

Money-Saving Tip

Don't go if you don't want to spend ÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁ haha

Overall Verdict & Ratings

A Tried & Tested - Day Out With The Kids
Safety & Cleanliness5.0

Cannot fault this honestly

Rides & Entertainment4.0

My boys love anything outdoors. Fruit picking, fruit eating and a park is top afternoon for them

Food & Drink4.0

All lovely but pricey

Queues & Crowds4.0

Because you book by time slots it is never over crowded

Fun & Delight4.0

Very fun

Value for Money2.0

I would say it is all very over priced honestly. But we go every year so it's a nice treat yearly

The Final Verdict:

We love it and will be back next year. Our totally bill for entry, 2 punnets of strawberries and a punnet of blackberries, 2 cans and 2 ice creams was ÂŁ45. We then had a pizza but I can't remember the price of this. Total was probably around ÂŁ60 for a few hours fruit picking in the sunshine. Not cheap but a lovely treat
