Welcome to Nottinghamshire 'Pick Your Own' Pumpkins

A family that's passionate about pumpkins...and now sunflowers!

​

Heatwave information: 

Absolutely no smoking anywhere on-site, including the car park. Please help us prevent wildfires.

Dogs are not allowed. Please do not bring them, as they are not allowed in the sunflower field, and it will be too hot for them in the car. 

We recommend bringing plenty of water, a sun hat, and sun cream. There is very little shade in the field, so please come prepared. 

The Sunflower Experience and Summer Pick Your Own!

We are open 10am-4pm Thursday-Sunday. Standard entry is £5, 5-12 year olds £2, and under 5's is free. The cost of entry is redeemable against produce. There is no need to book.

Set in the rolling Nottinghamshire countryside a few miles north of Nottingham, this family-run 'Pick Your Own' has 1000's of pumpkins and squashes for you to choose from in October. And for the first time this August, we held our Sunflower Experience! 5 acres. 40,000+ sunflowers!

With a family-friendly atmosphere, delicious food by Little Schnauzer Coffee Company and Rocket Dogs, and free parking, this is the perfect outing for all the family!
