Top attraction offers FREE strawberry picking after heatwave triggers growth spurt

They're hosting a 'pick 'em clean' day

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 29th June 2026

A top pick-your-own attraction in Yorkshire will be offering free strawberry picking today, thanks to the recent heatwave.

Farmer Copleys in Pontefract has been left with almost too many strawberries thanks to last week's scorching weather.

They said that the heatwave brought on 'a massive flush of fruit' which they're now worried could go to waste.

And so, the beloved farm will be opening the doors to its Strawberry Experience totally free of charge for one day only.

They say that the 'pick em clean day' will allow visitors to fill punnets and buckets to the brim, and you'll only pay for what you pick, with no entry fees.

As well as beautiful strawberries, you'll be able to pick their raspberries straight from the tunnels too.

Farmer Copleys wrote: "The heatwave has brought on a massive flush of fruit and we don’t want these beautiful berries going to waste.

"So for Monday 29th June only, 12pm-5pm, we’re opening the Strawberry Experience with FREE entry for a pick em clean day, meaning you’ll only pay for what you pick.

"No ticket fee, just come and fill a bucket with fresh strawberries or raspberries straight from the tunnels.

"It’s the perfect chance to stock up, enjoy the sunshine and make the most of the fruit while it’s at its best."

Megastar Pitbull is heading to Roundhay Park in Leeds for a headline festival performance where you're sure to be yelling "Timber".

Lots of Leeds music lovers might be flocking to Roundhay Park for an outdoor gig like no other because this one comes with 'Hotel Room Service' - not literally, but the Cuban-American star will probably deliver a rendition of this smash hit.

Amid this current heatwave, we might even be able to change the 'International Love' lyrics from "Hotter than Miami" to "Hotter than Roundhay".

Although we can't predict the weather, we can confirm that Pitbull is insane as he played a cracking show at Co-op Live in Manchester last year.
