A SUNFLOWER trail that attracted thousands of visitors at its last event is now accepting bookings for this summer.

The Sunflower Trail, organised by Maiden Castle Farm in Dorchester, will take place throughout August.

The spectacular trail is open to bookings now with the main event happening in August – when the sunflower crop is fully grown and in all its glory.

Hazel Hoskin, of Maiden Castle Farm, said: “We were so lucky last year, judging by the photos on social media we helped friends and families to make some special memories. As well as raising an amount of money that made a real difference to the Special Care Baby Unit in Dorset County Hospital.”

Maiden Castle Farm will again run a major fundraising event to raise money for the Kingfisher Ward at Dorset County Hospital and Cherkasy Hospital in Ukraine, with all proceeds from the trail donated equally to both causes.
