Nothing says summer more than the deliciously sweet smell of strawberries, with picking your own fruit a fun activity for all ages.
SoGlos has selected some of the best places you can go fruit picking in and around Gloucestershire, with the chance to embrace the great outdoors, soak up the sunshine and show your support for local farmers and producers.
Cheltenham’s Primrose Vale Farm Shop offers some 15 types of crops for picking, with its PYO fields usually open from late May until September.
Strawberries, which are grown on raised platforms, are the most popular crop, but you can also find raspberries and blackberries, along with occasional vegetables. This summer 2022, customers can wander around the picking field to find the juiciest strawberries to take home with them, as well as taking the chance to explore the farm shop.
Head to Gloucester’s Over Farm Market during the summer months to pick super sweet strawberries, blackberries and raspberries.

Just across the border on the edge of Swindon, take a trip to Lotmead Farm to pick your own strawberries this summer 2022.
