Set in the heart of our working pumpkin farm in Essex, the sunflower patch is the perfect summer day out for families, couples, friends, and flower lovers alike. Whether you're looking to pick your own sunflowers, explore a maize maze, or simply enjoy some time outdoors, there's something for everyone.

What’s included with your ticket:

  • Entry to our Colchester sunflower field – includes one sunflower head

Dog-friendly days are available on 27th July, 30th July, and 2nd August 2025 – well-behaved dogs on leads are very welcome.

Tickets are £8 per person or £30 for a family of four, and additional sunflower stems can be picked for just £1 each. Remember to bring your own secateurs if you'd like to pick extra blooms.

Set amongst the same fields where we grow our famous Foxes Farm pumpkins for autumn, this sunflower experience gives visitors a chance to enjoy our Essex farm at its summer best. It’s one of the most photogenic spots in the county – ideal for summer photos, family days out, and making memories in the fresh air.

Sunflower picking is only available for a short time, so be sure to pre-book your tickets today.
