Home to the National Fruit Collection, Brogdale will be hosting a Strawberry Fair with entertainment for the whole family.

Strawberry-themed activities will include the chance to enjoy rare and heritage varieties of strawberries (with cream and a glass of Pimms, of course) and the opportunity to pick up strawberry plants to take home. Visitors can also take part in the fruity dish Bake Off competition, paint strawberry pebbles, make a 3D strawberry card, and follow the Strawberry Fairy Trail.
