Pick Your Own
Sunflowers
Wander through our blooming paddock and handpick your own bunch of beautiful sunflowers – the perfect way to soak up the season and take a little sunshine home with you. Whether you’re after a few stems for your kitchen table or an armful for a special occasion, there’s something magical about picking your flowers straight from the field.

More Than Just Flowers – A Full Bloom Experience •
Our sunflower paddock is open on weekends from Saturday 26th July, with timed arrival slots to help everyone enjoy a relaxed and spacious visit. We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak bloom!
Walk-ins are also welcome.
The flowers are blooming early, which means they’ll be at their best between 26th July and 10th August.
We’ll still be open on the final weekend (16th-17th August), but the sunflowers may be past their peak by then.
We’ll still have the maize maze, tractor rides, trails, food and drinks, and a lovely day out to enjoy — just without the freshest blooms!
Book early for the best of the flowers.

ABOUT SOMERLEY FIELDS
Rooted in Farming, Growing Something New
We’re Ashley and Myles – two brothers raised on the land, with muddy boots, early starts, and a deep love for the countryside in our bones. Farming runs through our family, and over the years we’ve built AMS Contracting into a business that supports farmers, landscapers, developers and councils across the UK.
But here, at Somerley Fields – nestled within the historic Hundredsteddle Farm near Earnley, just outside Chichester – we’re planting something a little different.
Hundredsteddle Farm isn't just a name; it's a place steeped in history. Dating back to medieval times, it served as the meeting point for the hundred court of the Bishop of Chichester, where local matters were deliberated. The term "Hundredsteddle" itself refers to the platform or floor on which these courts sat, highlighting its longstanding role in community governance.
Inspired by our love for the land and a desire to diversify, we’re transforming one of our paddocks into a sea of sunflowers. What started as a small seed of a plan has blossomed into something bigger: a welcoming, seasonal space where people can reconnect with nature, enjoy time with friends and family, and take a little beauty home with them.
2025 marks our very first Pick Your Own Sunflowers season – and we’re opening the gates to share it with you.
And when summer gives way to autumn, we’ll be welcoming you back for our first Pumpkin Weekends. Think crunchy leaves, homegrown pumpkins in all shapes and sizes, and simple seasonal fun that celebrates the harvest and countryside at its best.
We’ve created Somerley Fields with sustainability in mind – from championing British farming and low-impact land use, to working with local partners and making responsible choices where we can. It’s a joyful place with its roots in the soil, and its heart in the future.
Good to know.
We’re so excited to welcome you to the farm – but before you get snipping, here are a few notes to help make your visit safe, smooth, and full of sunshine.
