And a farm, 19 miles from , boasts Britain’s largest picking field, with acres of plants to harvest your own fruity treats from.
Garson Farm in Esher has been growing crops for over 155 years and now welcomes visitors to have a field day picking strawberries every summer.
Open now for the season, guests can take to the expansive greenery and help themselves to the tunnel-grown strawberry plants.
Open rain or shine every day of the week, the farm costs just £2.50 per person to enter, while under twos go free, with bookings limited to eight tickets.
The farm is open from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sundays and the ticket price does not cover any crops picked during the outing.
While fruit fans can expect supplies of strawberries in the field to be booming in the height of summer, the farm warns that crops can be limited during the early season.
“The 2026 PYO season has begun with delicious early-season strawberries,” the Garson Farm website states.
“During the early season, crops may not yet be available in abundance. In this phase, we may need to rest the crops to allow them time to grow and produce more fruit.”
Typically, the UK’s strawberry season is between June and late August, with mid-July being peak time.
The farm also offers its pick-your-own deal for plenty other fruits and veggies when they are in season, although it’s just strawberries up for grabs right now.
There are apples, blackberries, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, cherries, onions, plums and more growing in the fields – but the farm states that “these crops need more time to grow” for now.
