Looking forward to visiting again this year love the new fun stuff you are offering great for all the family 🌻🌻🌻

🌻 There’s More to Beesby Sunflower Patch Than Just Sunflowers… 🌻

Of course, you’ll find thousands of beautiful sunflowers stretching across the field, creating the perfect backdrop for family photos, quiet moments and unforgettable memories... but that’s only the beginning.

This year, we’ve worked harder than ever to create a day out that the whole family can enjoy.

🕵️ Can you solve The Curious Case of the Missing Golden Sunflower?

Our brand-new outdoor detective adventure combines clues, puzzles, code-breaking and mystery in an experience that’s part escape room, part whodunnit, and completely outdoors

🌾 Our wheat play pit, where you can play without the sand sticking. Explore our play area where you can race around on the ride-on tractors, or challenge someone to a match at our rustic football goal.

🦋 Our younger visitors can become nature detectives too by following our Rubbing Plate Adventure Trail, collecting beautiful wildlife rubbings to take home as their own keepsake.

🎨 Fancy getting creative? Pop into our Craft Corner, where children (and grown-ups too!) can make their own souvenirs, including:
✨ Suncatchers
🌻 Windchimes
🖼️ Photo frames
🔑 Key rings
…and more to remember your visit.

📸 If you love taking photos, we’ve got you covered! From our vintage tractors, swings and straw bales to thousands of stunning sunflowers, there are photo opportunities around every corner. And... we’ve been quietly working on two brand-new features that we think are going to become your favourite Instagram spots. We can’t wait to reveal them!

🍦 After all that exploring, treat yourself to delicious farm-made ice cream from Farmer Browns Ice Cream, alongside freshly prepared sandwiches from Angelene’s Patisserie, Alford. We’re passionate about supporting fellow local businesses because we believe our community is strongest when we support one another.

💛 Beesby Sunflower Patch has always been about more than flowers. It’s about precious, affordable family time, creating memories for all ages.

Support local. Support family farming.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Beesby Sunflower Patch this August. 🌻

Opening 1st August - 10am til 4pm.

Olympic fun from 2012 and 2016!

🌻🌻We’re so looking forward to welcoming you to Beesby Sunflower Patch! To help everyone have a safe and enjoyable visit, we’d just like to remind everyone of a few important rules before you arrive.

🚜 We’re a working farm.

Please be mindful that you’re visiting a real, working farm with machinery, livestock and crops. We kindly ask that you respect the farm, follow any rules and signs.

🐶 No dogs, please.

We absolutely love dogs (we have our own!), but as we’re a working farm and our cattle will still be calving during the sunflower season, we have to keep the patch dog-free. Even the friendliest dogs can unintentionally cause stress to livestock, and the safety of our animals and visitors must always come first. We really appreciate your understanding. (Registered assistance dogs are, of course, welcome.)

🚭 No smoking or va**ng.

Please don’t smoke anywhere on the sunflower patch. During the summer our fields can become incredibly dry, and it only takes one spark to start a fire. This rule is there to protect our crops, wildlife, visitors and the farm itself.

Thank you for helping us look after the farm, our animals and the beautiful sunflower patch. By following these simple rules, you’re helping us keep Beesby Sunflower Patch a safe and enjoyable place for everyone.

We can’t wait to welcome you all very soon! 🌻💛

A great place to visit 🌻🌻🌻

A great place to visit 🌻🌻🌻

🌻 Just 2 weeks to go! 🌻

The clock is ticking... and in just two weeks’ time we’ll be opening the gates for another summer in the sun! ☀️

There’s still plenty to do before opening day (the to-do list seems to grow by the day! 😅), but we honestly can’t wait to welcome you all back.

Here’s a little taste of what’s waiting for you this year...

🌻 Our biggest sunflower crop yet

🧩 A brand new maze adventure for those who love a challenge

🍦 Delicious ice cream from Farmer Browns Ice Cream, Huttoft

🥪 Fresh sandwiches from Angelene’s Patisserie, Alford

📸 Beautiful photoshoots with some incredibly talented photographers (book directly with your chosen photographer)

🎨 Crafts for all ages

☕ Hot and cold drinks

💐 Fresh sunflower bouquets (fingers crossed🤞)

✨ Plus plenty more surprises and events throughout the summer!

And here’s something we’re especially pleased about...

💛 Our prices are staying exactly the same for the third year running.

We know family days out can soon add up, so we’ve worked hard to keep the experience as affordable as possible while continuing to make the sunflower patch even better each year.

We can’t wait to see familiar faces, welcome new visitors, and make another summer full of memories.

Who’s coming to see us first? 🌻💛
