A FARM estate in Worcestershire is getting ready to celebrate 10 years of opening its flower fields to the public.
Wyke Manor Estate near Pershore is home to the Real Flower Confetti Company, which each year grows acres of delphiniums, which it turns into biodegradable confetti.
2025 marks 10 years since the Hudson family, which has been farming the estate for some 250 years, began opening its fields to the public during the summer months.

The unique pop-up event, which runs from June 26 to July 6, attracts thousands of visitors each year, all keen to wander through stunning rows of colourful delphiniums in full bloom.
Known for their rich colours and commanding presence, the tall flower spikes are packed with single or double flowers, in shades of blue, purple, dusky pink, red and white.
Petal confetti from the Wyke Manor Estate has been used at tens of thousands of weddings worldwide since Charles Hudson had a lightbulb moment and planted his first field of flowers in 1997.
It even has the royal seal of approval and was used by Princes William and Harry, who threw the petals over their father when he married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005.
“One of the most magical things about the confetti flower field is how it engenders love and happiness, through people feeling embraced by the beauty of nature.
“Our wonderful field has also inspired a number of romantically brave hearts to venture into the middle of the flowers and make a wedding proposal.
“We are delighted to report the outcomes were all yes. We look forward to welcoming both young and old to the fields this summer for our tenth anniversary,” said Charles.

To celebrate 10 years of glorious blooms, in addition to the regular daytime opening times, there are three special sundowner sessions on June 26, July 2 and 6.
There is also a mid-week offer for families after 3pm with half-price entry for five to 12-year-olds.
Tickets are timed and pre-booking is required as capacity is likely to exceed demand.
