Beckett's Farm in Wythall, just 20 minutes south of Birmingham, is offering a completely free sunflower field experience throughout August, drawing visitors eager for a budget-friendly summer outing. The farm, owned by the Beckett family for over 80 years, has become a viral sensation after local TikToker Zarish shared her visit, calling it "one of Birmingham's cutest free summer days out."
What to Expect at the Sunflower Fields
The sunflower fields are open daily during August, with free entry for all guests. Zarish highlighted the "beautiful sunflower field with free entry, making it the perfect spot for a little stroll and some gorgeous photos." Visitors can wander through two separate fields, though the farm notes on its website that one has bloomed better than the other, urging guests to explore both for the full experience.
Beyond the flowers, the farm hosts a free garden party throughout August, complete with lawn games suitable for all ages and numerous photo opportunities. "Throughout August they're also hosting a free garden party, lawn games, loads of photo opportunities and delicious food," Zarish added in her video.
Farm Shop and Dining Options
Beckett's Farm is renowned for its award-winning farm shop, which sells goods from the farm and surrounding areas of Worcestershire, Birmingham, and Warwickshire. The on-site farmhouse restaurant and coffee shop serves "real home comforts with a contemporary twist," according to the farm's promotional materials.
Zarish recommends visitors not miss the farm shop, saying, "While you're there don't miss their farm shop, packed with fresh local produce and plenty of treats to take home. They've got a huge selection of cakes, plus a bakery counter full of freshly baked treats."
Why It's a Perfect Summer Day Out
With summer weather having been warm and sunny, many families seek affordable outdoor activities. This free attraction offers a wholesome experience without the typical costs associated with day trips. Zarish concluded, "If you're looking for a wholesome day out this summer, this one's definitely worth adding to your list."
The farm's location in Wythall makes it easily accessible from Birmingham, and its 80-year farming heritage adds a sense of tradition to the visit. Whether you're after scenic walks, family-friendly games, or fresh local produce, Beckett's Farm provides a diverse range of activities that appeal to all ages.
