Gorgeous 25-acre English lavender fields with tractor rides, cafe and golden-hour sunset slots is opening this weekend
A STUNNING 25-acre lavender field is opening to the public for summer.
From this weekend, visitors will be able to visit a sprawling purple paradise for the ultimate picturesque walk.
Mayfield Lavender Farm offers expansive floral fields, perfect for frolicking, and welcomes visitors during the warmer months every year.
With the lavender plants blooming once again, the Surrey farm is open for days out from Saturday, June 6.
Opening hours are from 9am to 6pm every day, with last entries at 5:15pm.
With 25-acres of sensationally scented land to explore, the area is located in Banstead, just 15 miles from central London.
It also provides the perfect backdrop for some striking photography or a serene summer stroll.
With the farm’s gates set to remain open until August 23, flower fans can expect the plants to offer the best blooms in mid July.
There’s even a contrasting red phone box nestled amongst the violet buds that provides a rather aesthetically pleasing Instagram photo opportunity.
Entry to Mayfield is affordable with ticket prices for adults and children over 11 starting from £7.40. Tickets for little ones aged between four and 11 start at £2.50, while under fours get in for free.
General admission tickets allow entry to the fields with access to the on-site cafe and shop.
There’s also the option to pay a little more for the likes of a tractor ride around the fields, the opportunity to adopt a lavender plant and get access to the farm’s potting station.
Tickets can be purchased upon arrival, but it’s recommended to grab them online before you go during busier periods like weekends and school holidays.
There is free parking on site, too, although it is limited.
Visitors can also make their way to the lavender farm via train from London Bridge Station to Woodmansterne, with services taking as little as 40 minutes.
