Summer in bloom: 13 glorious pictures of Sam's Sunflowers' sunshine-filled opening weekend

Sam’s Sunflowers in St Peters Road, Northney, opened this weekend, and photographer Alex Shute went to take photos of visitors enjoying flowers in the sunshine.

Visitors to the popular Hayling Island farm can pick sunflowers from the 50 acre site as well as other floral blooms which are growing in the fields to take home.

The site also offers footgolf, as well as a 12 acre maise maze, which this year is shaped like David Attenborough to celebrate his 100th birthday.

Weather permitting, Sam’s Sunflowers is open 10am to 4pm Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 9pm on Thursdays (dogs welcome after 5pm only), and 10am to 9pm on Saturdays and 10am to 6pm on Sundays, with some ticketed events also planned throughout the summer.
