THE FRUIT

From late January to late March the orchard offers five different fig varieties, each with its own colour and rich flavour — a compact season focused squarely on fresh fruit at peak ripeness.

THE TIMING

The fig harvest runs for a defined period each year; plan visits within the late-January to late-March season to catch the fruit at its best.

THE FORMAT

A brief, all-ages outing

The activity is a concise 1.5-hour experience suitable for a broad range of visitors, focused on picking and tasting rather than extended touring.
