THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT BERRY FEST 2026!
What a fantastic celebration of all things fruity, foodie and fun! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at Manor Farm Fruits for Berry Fest 2026. We loved welcoming so many of you to the farm and hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!
From live cooking demonstrations and delicious berry-inspired treats to meeting our much-loved scarecrows Strawbs and Pippin, exploring our fruit fields and enjoying live music on the farm, there was plenty going on throughout the day.
We loved seeing you exploring the tractor with George, enjoying some fantastic face painting and getting creative with Berry Fairy as you made your very own Berry Fest crowns to take home. We hope they helped add a little extra Berry Fest magic to your day!
A big thank you to everyone who got involved, asked questions during Farmer Simon’s live Q&A sessions, joined in with the activities and embraced everything Berry Fest had to offer.
And, of course, congratulations to all of our fantastic prize winners! Some of you took home some brilliant prizes, including tickets to future events here at Manor Farm Fruits – and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you back to the farm very soon!
BERRY FEST WILL BE BACK IN 2027!
We’re delighted to say this isn’t the last you’ve seen of Berry Fest. We’ll be back next summer for Berry Fest 2027, with another berry-filled celebration and plenty more family fun on the farm.
Thank you for supporting our family farm, joining in the fun and helping to make Berry Fest 2026 such a special event.
See you in 2027 for more berries, more fun and more memories at Manor Farm Fruits!

Book tickets online! We can become incredibly busy and cannot allow entry to the farm without a pre-booked ticket if we are fully booked.

Step Three
Follow directions from our field stewards to our fruit ready to pick. Please keep different types of fruit in separate punnets.
Step Four
Once finished, head back to our Farm Shop so your fruit can be weighed. All fruit picked must be paid for.

FAQ's
Do you have parking on-site?
Yes, we offer free parking. Please follow the sign to Manor Farm Fruits Carpark on arrival at our main entrance.
Can I bring my dog?
No, we cannot allow dogs in the strawberry field for hygiene reasons with the exception of service dogs.
Please do not leave your dog in your car during hot weather.
Can we eat whilst we pick?
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.
Can we bring a picnic?
No, we do not allow picnics in our fields or play area.
Do you have baby change facilities on-site?
Yes, we have baby change facilities in our accessible toilet.
Do I have to book?
We always recommend booking online as we can become incredibly busy and cannot allow entry to the farm without a pre-booked ticket if we are fully booked. Please note walk in tickets incur an additional £1 per person
Do you take cash or card?
We take both cash and card.
Are you wheelchair & pushchair friendly?
Most areas of our farm are easily accessible with a pushchair. Those wishing to visit with a wheelchair please contact us in advance, due to the natural terrain of our farm accessibility will depend on the location of our fruit and where we are picking from due to crop rotation. Please note we cannot allow wheelchairs or pushchairs on our Nature Trail or in to our Maize Maze and flower fields.
We also have a disabled toilet on site.
Can I bring my own container to pick fruit?
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring your own containers to pick fruit but these must be weighed at admissions before entering the fields.
