Confetti fields in Pershore primed for rush of Instagrammers
Insta-worthy confetti flower fields blooming with thousands of colourful delphiniums have opened to the public for another year, with organisers primed for visitors from across the Confetti Flower Field at Wyke Manor Estate in Pershore, Worcestershire, opens for just 10 days - until 6 July, when the flowers are harvested and turned into "petal paradise" is a magnet for those wanting to be pictured amongst the beautiful blooms, with tourists coming from as far as New Zealand, India, China and said the best time to get "instagrammable" shots was either midweek when it was quieter, first thing in the morning - or even in the pouring rain.
"When it's raining, the rain brings out the vibrancy of the colours, they are all refreshed," said Jane Powell, the site's marketing flower field will open daily from 10:00 - 16:00 BST, with tickets priced at £9.95 per person.
Ms Powell said she was "amazed" at how far people travelled to view the flowers in bloom and spoke of how one tourist had even taken a day trip from Norway."We had a call two weeks ago from a family visiting from the USA... They wanted to book a taxi [straight to the field] from the station," she added."It's a petal paradise."
This year, organisers are also offering special sunset showings between 18:30 and 21:30 BST on 1 and 3 Powell advised photographers or influencers looking to get the perfect Instagram shot to visit early morning or at quieter periods for a "better experience"."The light is better first thing in the morning," she explained. "Beautiful vibrant colours, the flowers [that] have come into bloom are pink, purple, blue and creamy white."It's a riot of colour."
