Fundraising with stunning sunflowers and sunsets in heart of Northamptonshire

A family-run farm will open its gates again this weekend (August 8 and 9) for sunflower selfie-seekers and nature lovers.

As well as being able to wander through a sea of golden sunflowers, vistors can donate to charities Cransley Hospice and Dementia UK.

Located in Thrapston Road, Finedon, Poplar Lodge Farm (NN9 5HL) will open for its popular Saturday sunset session from 5pm to 9pm – and it’s free entry.

The sunflower fields will re-open for ‘pick-you-own’ buyers on Sunday from 2pm to 4pm.

Fundraiser Anna Griffiths will once again be at the sunset session with her eye-catching bright-pink restored 1959 Ford Dexta tractor.

After the success of previous sessions, a spokesman for Poplar Lodge Farm said: “Wow, we are absolutely blown away by the lovely feedback.

“The number of people who came along and, most importantly, all the smiles has been amazing. Thank you to everyone who visited, supported us and made it such a special evening.

“The weather is set to be beautiful, so bring a picnic, a blanket, and relax amongst the sunflowers while enjoying our peaceful space.”

People are being invited to bring a picnic, their cameras and enjoy watching the sunset over the sunflowers. Dogs are welcome.

Pick your own prices are six stems for £5 and eight stems for £10 – with different colours available.
