Summer on the Farm 2025

After such amazing weather this spring the farm has truly sprung into life!

The bluebells were exceptional this year on the woodland walk but are now coming to their seasonal end and for summer we look forward to the poppy fields in June and the Sunflowers in September to support our local bee populations.

The bee hives that have been installed in our wild flower meadows are buzzing and our wonderful honey can be found for sale in The Butler’s Pantry and features on many of their menus.

Little Bees Larder is producing some wonderful honey products for the farm and are also holding candle making workshops and bee educational days throughout the Summer and Autumn, including ones for children in ‘The Bumblekin club’.  The Butler’s Pantry is also launching their farm shop through the cafe this summer and as well as stocking all the local produce for sale, will also be stocking a range of Sophie Allport homeware.

The campsites are busy taking bookings for the summer season so make sure you book now to secure your place. We are launching Pizza nights 4-8pm on Friday nights and BBQ 4-8pm Saturday nights through the Summer and keeping the Cow Putt crazy golf and Latchetts gelato parlour open for everyone to enjoy the late summer evenings.

Heavenly Flyers frisbee golf is in a new location on the farm so has an exciting new course for this year and we also look forward to the Maize maze in August.

Summer will bring many more BBQs to the farm if this amazing weather continues and also the introduction of the ‘slip and slide’ to cool off before enjoying Latchett’s gelato! This is also the season for parties so think ahead and book now! The Dove’s Playbarn is perfect for children’s parties and The Butler’s Pantry Sussex Barn perfect for any lunch or evening event including weddings.

Keep an eye on the websites for the Butler’s Pantry Sussex Barn Supper Clubs throughout the Summer too. In June the focus is on our local vegetables with a vegan tasting menu and in July we team up with our Neighbours at Bluebell vineyard for a food and wine tasting evening! The Sussex Barn is open Thursdays to Sundays throughout the year and features farm kitchen sharing plates and our famous Sunday Roast.

Enjoy the Summer! It’s going to be a good one!
