PYO Sunflowers - returning August
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do”
Our PYO Sunflower field will hopefully be in full bloom in August. No booking required, although there will be a small entry fee, which will be donated to charity. Please keep an eye on our social media channels for opening dates and crop updates. We also hope to run Sunflower Sundowner evening picking sessions on selected dates.

All professional photographers require a location pass. This costs £120 per day (10am - 4pm) or £20 per hour and should be booked and arranged in advance via highlodgeevents@gmail.com. If you require exclusive use of the site, please contact us for rates.
High Lodge Farm reserves the right to determine if your shoot is of a commercial/professional nature and you will be asked to pay the fee if you haven’t done so already.
