Add some colour to your life...
The wait is over β the Dorset Sunflower Trail at Maiden Castle Farm is officially open for another unforgettable summer amongst the sunflowers π» π» π»
π Since launching in 2021, together we've raised an incredible Β£78,000 for the Dorset County Hospital Charity. This year, we're hoping to reach the amazing milestone of Β£100,000, and we'd love your help to get us there.
π» This year's theme... Love the Buzz ππ
From the excitement of visiting the trail, to the incredible bees enjoying the flowers, and the buzz of raising money for our local hospital, this year's theme celebrates everything we love about the Dorset Sunflower Trail.
π Open daily for around 3 weeks from 11am
π» Last entry 4pm
π» Two trails, endless memories...
π Short Trail β Around 10 minutes and suitable for prams, pushchairs and wheelchairs (weather permitting).
