The summer months at Bilston see our lavender fields transform into a stunning sea of beautiful, fragrant flowers. A must see on any bucket list.
In early June, the bright green stems develop buds that cast a lovely dusty purple hue across the fields, just before the flowers start to emerge in late June. As buds become blooms, the fields are at their peak in early July through mid-August and the barn becomes our lavender drying barn with floor to ceiling walls of lavender.

Celebrate this season with us as you soak in the beauty of lavender fields in full bloom, taking part in a hands-on workshop and browsing a variety of local makers at our summer festival market. Live music will fill the air on select dates as you enjoy product demonstrations, hunt for pollinators along our lavender field, watch our team harvest and distill lavender, or simply relax in the shade of heritage apple trees while enjoying an ice cream or cup of tea. What could be more perfect?
