The farm shop and garden centre posted that their “delicious” pick-your-own strawberries are now open. 

The strawberries are available to pick in their two polytunnels and there are plenty available, but you will need to wait for the outside strawberries as they are not ripe yet.

You can also pick your own raspberries, sunflowers, plums and runner beans later in the season.

2. Sharrington Strawberries

Sharrington’s strawberries are stocked in farm shops across Norfolk, including the one on-site.

Strawberries and asparagus are currently available from the polytunnels and a variety of other berries will be ripe soon.

The farm announces days for picking on its Instagram and Facebook, and the bank holiday was very popular.

3. The Tacons

Where: The Grange, Rollesby, Great Yarmouth NR29 5AJ
