2022 Update

It is with great sadness that we have to advise that due to a change in circumstances we are not in a position to continue with the Walks & open days. We ran the event for 13 years starting off with a couple of days raising £300 and grew to an annual 2 week event raising £13,000. To date we have raised almost £90,000 for Macmillan and welcomed hundreds of lovely visitors to the farm. We would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who visited, volunteered & supported the event but its just not possible at the moment, maybe in the future, who knows? In our continued support for Macmillan we are still picking Daffodils to sell, these are at various outlets around our area or larger orders can be collected from the farm. Details on our Facebook page Daffodil Walks or contact Gail 07939 087499. Very best wishes, stay well, please keep in touch on FB! Len, Gail, Howard & the fundraising team xxx

2020 Corona Virus Update

It’s with great sadness that due to the Coronavirus threat we have made the difficult decision to CANCEL this years event to protect the health of visitors & volunteers, many of whom are among the more vulnerable.

We are concerned at the loss of funds that we usually generate for Macmillan and hope that you are able to support the charity in other ways. Thanks for your understanding and ongoing support.

We will plan of course to be back for 2021 with the best possible show, and hope you’ll be able to join us then.

The event is always needing extra hands, could you give up a few hours to help? From baking, serving cakes & refreshments to assisting with car parking.

From the Fairy Queen

A message from the Fairy Queen!

The children were so good last year that I’ve invited more fairy friends to live where the daffodils grow!

Daffodil Walks for 2019

Walks this year will be daily from 27th March to 7th April inclusive, with tours each day at 10:30am, and walks at any time from 10am – 3pm. For more details see the booking page

An update on the daffodils – the growth seems to be inline with the last few years, with Rijnvelds Early Sensation in flower now, and Magnificence and Ice Follies will be out in early March.

Six thousand new bulbs planted for everyone to enjoy, even if the season begins early we have varieties that flower from December until mid May, so always lots to see.

There are about six hundred different varieties including rare specimens going back to when Adam was a lad, and also hundreds of unnamed seedlings bred by the Old Chap!

New Planting

I’ve just finished planting up around 6,000 more bulbs for our visitors to enjoy, so these should add more colour and variety in the years to come. Get your planting done while it’s still nice enough out!

The fairies are still very active due to the recent mild weather, but with a cold snap on the way they’ll soon be hibernating, ready to be refreshed for the spring.
