Lordington LavenderTickets are still available for Lordington Lavender’s Evening Event on the 7th and 8th July from 6.30-9.30pm.  We have tickets available for sale at the Farm Shop.

This is an exclusive opportunity to experience the beautiful lavender field in a calm, adult environment. Drink in the views at sunset whilst you sip prosecco, enjoy a Stansted wood-fired pizza and enjoy the live jazz band.  You must pre-book the tickets as numbers are limited, and you can either book at the farm shop, or from the Lordington Lavender website. Tickets are £27.50 each.

The Lavender Open Week is then from Monday 10th July to Sunday 16th July from 10am – 4pm and is again ticket only for £6.  Tickets available on their website.

Nestled in the South Downs, Lordington Lavender was established in 2002 by our neighbouring farmer Andrew Elms. After selling his dairy herd he was looking for a new way to diversify and decided that Lavender would be a unique and exciting alternative. The crop is grown with conservation of habitat and the environment very much in mind. No fertilizers or pesticides are used and it has become a haven for wildlife with at least 12 red listed species of birds including skylarks and barn owls found on the farm.

Now, 4 acres of Mailette lavender, a French Provencal variety famed for its high quality oil is harvested once a year to produce a wonderful essential oil and the business has become a family affair. From originally just selling an essential oil a whole range has developed but all with one aim – to produce simple, pure and honest products using only the highest quality ingredients.

Every summer the lavender field is full of bumble bees and butterflies and when the sun shines you can imagine being in Provence!
