In the summer months, there’s nothing better than the sweet taste of freshly picked strawberries. A lovely activity to do with all the family, create cherished memories together of summer days.
Whether you later choose to serve your strawberries up with cream or perhaps in a summer drink like Pimm’s, there are several places where you can pick your own strawberries (and often other fruits too!) here in Hampshire. The strawberries have been a little delayed this year due to the weather, so expect the fields to be at their peaks from mid-June onwards.
