Look what we found lurking in the undergrowth!
🎃👀

We could really do with some rain to help these little fellas along. Join us for a rain dance for September please! ☔️🕺🏼

Tickets for our pumpkin season will go live at the end of September. We will open mid-October. Sign up to our newsletter on our website to get all the updates and for early bird booking access: https://www.rotherwickpatch.com

Do we have a great Friday news story for you…

St Michael's Hospice (North Hampshire) have confirmed that £2186.12 was raised via the secateur hire and generous donations made in the collection buckets at the Patch during our sunflower season this summer!

That’s an incredible amount of money collected for our local hospice so a huge thank you to YOU! We truly appreciate it 🌻💛🫶🏼

…we’ve now closed for sunflower season. 15 brilliant days, over 1500 ice-creams and almost 5000 visitors! Huge thanks to everyone who came and visited us. As a small, independent business, your support really does make a difference 🫶🏼

We’re going to let the bees enjoy the sunflowers while we take a short break. If everyone could join us for a rain dance this week, it’d be very much appreciated by us…and the pumpkins! 🎃

Tickets will go live for pumpkin season at the end of September so keep following us for updates and head over to our website to sign up to our newsletter for all the news and early bird access.

THANK YOU! 🌻

We look forward to seeing you all soon!

It’s our last weekend! We’re open 9am - 5pm today and tomorrow so head on over and capture the beauty of the sunflower fields before it’s too late!

Our Maize Maze and Play Patch are open too, along with our cafe serving cold drinks, cake and ice-creams.

We hope you can join us for our last few days 🌻🌻

Days Out In Hampshire

14/08/2026

⚠️ Just a reminder that we’re closing at 3pm today because of the ongoing intense heat. We survived yesterday because of a gentle breeze that really made a difference. There’s no wind forecast today so we’re closing at 3pm to keep guests and staff safe. We hope you understand.

For those visiting today, we have restocked the cold drinks and ice-creams so make sure you visit the cafe for a little treat to keep you cool! 🍦

Temperatures thankfully drop over the weekend! So we’re back to normal hours, 9am-5pm for our last two days. The Patch gates will close at 5pm on Sunday so make sure you book your tickets and head over to see our beautiful sunflowers soon! 🌻

Good morning! ☀️

We’re about to open our gates for another beautiful day at the Patch. Acres of sunflowers await you, Rory the Tractor has still lost his friends in the maze and the play area is ready for everyone to have some fun!

You can buy tickets on our website (link in bio) or on arrival at check in desk. We’ve restocked the fridges so have cold drinks, ice-creams and lollies waiting to cool you down too!🍦

A quick reminder too that our eclipse event is sold out tonight and is strictly ticket admission only. On this occasion, we are unable to accommodate walk ups and additional guests who haven’t booked in advance.

Wow! What a busy month it’s been. May has suddenly crept up on us but also allowed us to take a moment to reflect on the last few weeks and look back on what we go up to…

We hope you have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend - we’re probably the only ones in North Hampshire hoping we get a bit of rain! Hope it doesn’t spoil too many BBQs! 🫣
