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.
Everything you need to know about visiting Castle Farm this Lavender Season.
From mid-June to late July, our fields will burst into purple colour across the valley. We run a variety of events set in different fields across the farm, so you can enjoy the spectacular views and learn about lavender farming. Pre-booking is strongly advised as many events sell out.
2026 TICKETS
Our first drop of tickets and event calendars are now LIVE.
A second release will be made in late Mayand another early June once we can see the progress of the lavender growth throughout the spring. This may include earlier dates, later dates or more capacity.
