At The Flower Belt, there’s no entry fee - we want you to freely wander the fields and simply pay for the flowers or pumpkins you pick.

However, we kindly ask that you don’t bring your own food or picnics on-site. Instead, we invite you to support the wonderful local food and drink businesses we partner with by enjoying the delicious refreshments available at The Honey Tap. Thank you for helping us support our community!

We accept cash, credit/debit cards and contactless payments.

Yes, we have ample parking available in the field.

Remember, we’re out in the countryside! While we do our best to keep footpaths and car parks dry, you’ll still be walking through a field. Please dress appropriately with sturdy footwear and weather-ready clothing.

What we provide:

✅ Flowers & Pumpkins - check! (Seasonal)
✅ Scissors - check! (Including child-friendly ones for little hands)
✅ Jars, Vases & Buckets -  check!

Please note -  Jars, vases, and buckets are only provided for selecting your flowers. Once picked, your flowers will be wrapped in paper for you to take home. Our jars, vases, and buckets are available for purchase if you'd like to keep them.

To help your blooms last longer, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle and give them a fresh drink of water as soon as you get home. Remember to trim the stems and change the water every few days to keep them looking their best.
