Summer Seasonal Work 2026

APPLICATIONS CLOSED

LOVE CASTLE FARM? LOVE LAVENDER?

Come and join our summer team.

Each year we have a busy, seasonal crew join us to help meet, greet and serve all the visitors who flock to the farm to enjoy the sight and smell of our lavender (and more!). If you’re enthusiastic, energetic and would like to work in a outdoor environment, put up marquees and signs, be a barista in the Coffee Cabin, pack and arrange dried flowers, direct new visitors, organise the car parking, care for the lovely grounds, and answer lots and lots of questions, come and be part of Castle Farm!

The work here is highly varied and includes customer facing roles to packhouse tasks, car park management and field work. Ideally candidates of age 17+ only please.

In April we will be doing the first round of interviews ready for starting work in June. If you’re interested in applying, please follow the instructions below.

The seasonal work begins in June and lasts throughout July and into August when we open our sunflower field and we start harvesting fresh hop bines. In September we still need some help with dried hops and PYO apples and finally pumpkins in October. Availability for full time work in June/July and weekend working is essential.

We look forward to meeting you.
