The new attraction allows guests to hand-pick their own bouquets from a field in full bloom.

"It's been wonderful watching the flowers grow over the past eight weeks, and we can't wait to share them with the community.

"We hope visitors will enjoy creating their own unique bouquets while spending time outdoors in a beautiful setting."

Created as a space for families, friends, and flower enthusiasts of all ages, the flower field features thousands of blooms, including Medieval Carpet, Vale of York Bloom, and other seasonal varieties.
