Sunflower Field Yorkshire
This post has been updated with information on the pop up patch Sunflower field near York for 2023. I have included more information and an address to the field.
We returned home from holiday to a heatwave in York which was just perfect for drying at least 16 loads of washing on the line. It hasn’t been all washing and unpacking this week as we found a sunflower field in Yorkshire and had family over for a bbq in the garden.
It was a wise move to fill up the pool on our first day back from holidays so we had somewhere for the kids to entertain themselves whilst we packed away the camping stuff and saw to our garden. Dougie and I also got in for a few dips with the kids as it was sweltering at the start of the week. The kind of weather I dream about having up North. This photo of Daisy in the pool with a full washing line behind her sums up our first part of the week.
I was pleased to hear about a sunflower field in Yorkshire as this was the first one I have come across locally.
It ended up being a nice hour spent in the farmers field picking sunflowers with the kids and spotting lots of farm traffic from the corn field. We went over lunch so it was nice and quiet and even managed to give them a quick picnic lunch on the hay bale whilst we were there. I love sunflowers and this visit really filled me with joy so expect a few sunflowers over on my Instagram grid!
This picture really made us chuckle as it sums up Florence’s cheeky side at the moment. Teddy doesn’t look sure if he’s getting a kiss or a punch from her! For anyone local to York the Sunflower field is in the village of Sutton-on-the Forest. The PYO sunflowers are £5 for 6 stems. There is an honesty box and a tub of secateurs complete with hand sanitiser spray.
We ended our week of Dougie’s last few days off with a small family bbq in the garden and a lovely Sunday walk around Yearsley Woods in the Howardian Hills.
Read on for more details and address for the Sunflower field.

That sunflower field looks fantastic – what a great find! x
It sounds like you had a great week, and it was definitely great weather for drying washing!
Yay for sunflower fields this one looks beautiful. I have also spent time washing and tending to the garden over the last couple of days since returning from France. But still have so much to do! x
What is the closest road to the sunflower field? Would love to know if they’re doing them again this year!
It’s on York Road on the way into Sutton on the Forest. I will find out if they’re doing it again and will post and share on my fb page if they are x
