Strawberry Picking & Picnic Day (Family-Friendly)
A relaxed day out in the countryside, picking strawberries and spending some time outdoors together.
We’ll meet at Spring Gardens Nursery — a family-run pick-your-own farm at the foot of the South Downs with a café and plenty of space to enjoy the surroundings.
This is a casual meet-up — everyone picks at their own pace, and we’ll gather afterwards for a relaxed picnic.
What to expect
We’ll head into the fields to pick strawberries straight from the plants, then find a spot to sit down and enjoy a picnic together.
There’s also a café and farm shop on site if you’d prefer to grab a coffee or something to eat.
It’s a simple, easy-going day — especially nice for families.
