Can I change my booking date or get a refund?
Unless you add Booking Protection at the time of purchase, we are unable to change your booking.
Booking Protection allows you to amend your booking to an alternative date and time within 48 hours of your original booking.
All bookings are non-refundable, so if anyone in your group may need flexibility, we strongly recommend selecting Booking Protection at checkout.
It's raining, can I still come and pick fruit?
Yes, you can still come and pick fruit even if it’s raining. We have strawberries and raspberries available to pick under cover, so you won’t be completely exposed to the weather.
Please dress appropriately for the conditions, as it can still be muddy or damp outdoors.
Just a quick reminder: we don’t offer refunds or move bookings due to rain, so if anyone in your group may need flexibility, we recommend choosing Booking Protection at checkout.

Yes, we host a range of seasonal ticketed events throughout the year, including Easter, Pumpkin Fest and Christmas. Alongside these, we offer extra family-friendly activities during the summer months. For the latest updates and event announcements, keep an eye on our website and social channels.
You host birthday parties?
Yes, we host children’s birthday parties from Mid-May to Early September, please visit our Children’s Party page for more details - https://manorfarmfruits.co.uk/childrens-birthday-party/
You host Educational Visits?
Yes, we host educational visits during the summer, please visit our educational school visits page for more details - https://manorfarmfruits.co.uk/educational-school-visits/
Are all areas of our farm wheelchair accessible?
No, not all areas are wheelchair accessible.
Due to the natural terrain and the changing location of crops (because of crop rotation), accessibility varies depending on where fruit is being picked on the day. If you’re planning to visit with a wheelchair, please contact us in advance so we can advise on accessibility for that specific day.
Please note that wheelchairs cannot access the Nature Trail, Maize Maze or flower fields.
When does your fruit season end?
Our fruit season ends early September.
Can we eat the fruit while picking?
The short answer is no. A small taste is very different to eating your picked fruit before you have weighed and paid. We strongly advise you supervise children picking and wash your fruit at home before eating.
Do you grow vegetables?
No, we only grow soft fruit berries.
Do you take cash and card payments?
Yes, we take both cash and card payments.
Are there toilets onsite?
Yes, we have toilets, baby changing and disabled toilet on site.
