The eight-acre lavender farm in Bubbenhall, which hosts over 12,000 hand-planted lavender plants, allowed locals to visit for the first time in 2022.

Warwickshire Lavender Farm, on Watery Lane, began its life in 2016 as a retirement project for husband and wife Ian and Pippa Jamie.

The couple first started planting at their Weston Under Wetherley home to give somewhere for beekeeper Ian to keep his bees.

The field will be open this year when the flowers are in bloom, from 19 June 2026 until 9 August, on Wednesdays through to Sundays from 10am to 4pm

The Lavender cafe is also now open every Saturday from 10am to 4pm and provides hot and cold drinks and cake until it runs out.

All the profits from the site will be donated to charity, with just the farm's running costs covered.

For more information, follow this link to the Warwickshire Lavender Farm website.
