Boldon sunflower farm announces opening date after 'very quick harvest'
A South Tyneside sunflower attraction has announced its summer opening date.
A summer attraction in Boldon has needed to announce its opening very quickly after a high speed harvest this year.
Mundles Farm on Mundles Lane in East Boldon opens its doors for pumpkin pickers every Autumn in addition to allowing the public to take home sunflowers each summer.
This week the team at the site confirmed the opening date - and it is a quick turnaround for the farm.
A post on social media reads: “The sunflowers are blossoming and we are opening!
“Sorry for the radio silence but unfortunately the harvest has come very very quickly! We will be open from Friday 7th August [from] 10am-5pm weekdays and 11am-6pm weekends.”
Entry costs £2.50 with flowers available to buy for £1 per stem. No pre booking is required.
It is not yet known if the site will host a pumpkin patch later in the year.
