<p>Rock up –&nbsp;no need to book – to PYO strawberries, gooseberries , raspberries, black currants, redcurrants and blueberries. Check beforehand to see what&#8217;s ready; at the moment, it looks like it&#8217;s going to be late June before the strawberrries are ripe and ready to pick.  Could be PYO from home next year if you buy one of their potted fruit bushes.  Open daily, 10am–5pm.</p>
