In the summer months, there’s nothing better than the sweet taste of freshly picked strawberries. A lovely activity to do with all the family, create cherished memories together of summer days.
Whether you later choose to serve your strawberries up with cream or perhaps in a summer drink like Pimm’s, there are several places where you can pick your own strawberries (and often other fruits too!) here in Hampshire. The strawberries tend to be ready to harvest from May-June but this is subject to the weather. We recommend checking with each Pick Your Own farm ahead of your visit.
