Much like myself; sunflowers really start to thrive in the month of August. And to celebrate these bright, beautiful blooms coming into season, Tulley’s Farm is – once again – throwing the ultimate summer festival. Glastonbury who, am I right?
Nothing says summer like a trip to a sunflower field – and this one is gorgeous, golden, and gloriously close to the capital city. What’s not to love? Slap on the factor 50 and get your railcard at the ready, folks – Tulley’s Sunflower Festival is very almost set to welcome visitors for another season of fun in the sun(flower field).
Tulley’s Sunflower Festival
Get in, Londoners – we’re going to a sunflower festival. Nestled away in the depths of the West Sussex countryside; Tulley’s Farm provides a breathtaking and blooming brilliant escape from the capital city each summer, in the form of their annual sunflower festival. On selected dates throughout August, visitors can frolic through a whopping twelve acres of sprawling sunflowerssoak up some sunshine, and inhale some actual fresh air for the first time in far too long. Sounds pretty idyllic, right?
Over 25 meticulously-crafted photo ops and selfie stations have been scattered amongst the sea of sunflowers, designed to perfectly capture your summery shenanigans. The blooms aren’t the only things that need to be kept fed and watered, and so – of course – the Tulley’s team have the refreshment side of things covered, too. The Potting Shed bar will be serving up a refreshing range of drinks, and Bentley’s BBQ Shack will be providing some sensational street food. Flawlessly tying together this bouquet of summery, sunflowery fun will be the live music taking place throughout the festival. Skip through the sunflowers, and then sit back and soak up the sounds of the acoustic music being played around you. The most immaculate of vibes, don’t you think?
