LAVENDER SEASON FAQ

GENERAL

The Lavender at Castle Farm usually begins bloom in mid / late June through until late July when we harvest the flowers for their precious Lavender Essential Oil.

Exact flowering dates every year depend on the weather in the lead up to summer.

We love dogs here at Castle Farm and they are very welcome on site on a lead, and at our 'Guided Distillery & Field Tours' & 'Lavender Walks' Events. 

Due to the foods we stock, dogs are not permitted inside our main farm shop or at our Lavender Picnic event or Workshops, unless a registered Guide Dog or registered Assistance Dog.

All of our experiences are all weather events and will go ahead come rain or shine!

In the Lavender Picnic Field we have large marquees which offer cover in the event of rain or shelter if it is sunny.

In the Lavender Walks field, we have a large gazebo at the bottom of the field, but recommend umbrellas if it’s raining (the Lavender can be particularly fragrant in the rain!).

On our Guided Lavender Tours, we have covered gazebos in the Lavender Fields for when the guide is talking to the group, however the walk over to the distillery is not under cover.

Tickets & booking

Yes, access to the lavender fields is only permitted if you have a ticket for one of our events. This helps us preserve the beauty of the farm and ensure a safe, relaxed environment for all.

Of course, if you do not wish to purchase a ticket for an event you can enjoy the beautiful views of the valley from the farm shop or the public footpaths which cross the farm.

Customers can amend their own bookings using the secure link in their confirmation email, subject to availability. The timeframe in which customers can amend bookings differs per event. Please see your confirmation email for details. After this timeframe, amendments are not permitted.
