You pay at the gate, you walk into the field, you pick, and the entry price includes the punnet. Nobody weighs you on the way out, nobody sells you a wristband, and there is no booking system to wrestle with. Claremont sits ten minutes off the M53 and it does that one thing extremely well. The prices come down from the website outside the season, so check their social media when June comes round.
The season is short. June and July, and that is your lot, so for 2026 the picking is done. Inside the season the field still shuts on days when the fruit has not caught up with demand, and they announce that on Facebook and Instagram and not on the website.
There are no animals to feed, no soft play, no tractor ride. A child expecting a farm park will be briefly unimpressed, and then they will find a row of their own and forget about it. It works best in the two to eight bracket, where picking things and putting them in a box is genuinely the entertainment. The rest of the site keeps it going year round: a farm shop with a butchery counter, and a cafe doing hot food until 3pm.
What it costs: The pick your own details, prices included, are not on the farm's website outside the season. The farm shop, with a butchery counter run by Whieldons, and the cafe are open daily 9am to 5pm; last hot food orders 3pm, last hot drinks and cake 4.30pm. Cafe bookings on 07867 015246.
Worth knowing: No animal pens. This is a picking farm, so the entertainment is the field itself.
Seasonal: Pick your own is June and July, done for 2026. Check before travelling.

One of the biggest indoor soft plays in the UK, by its own account: more than 30 themed zones, giant slides, ball cannons and a role play mini city on the New Brighton seafront. School-day tickets are £8.50 and let you stay all day.
A hands-on science centre built precisely for this age group - walk-through lungs and a supersize brain in the new Bodies gallery, inventions to test, and the ferry stop is literally outside. Entry converts to an annual pass, which changes the maths entirely.
Beach, marine lake and Fort Perch Rock at the river mouth, with the Liverpool skyline across the water. Sandcastles when the tide allows, chips on the front to finish.
University of Liverpool's gardens above the Dee estuary: family trails, a wildflower meadow, a good playground and views across to Wales. Quieter than the National Trust circuit and better value.
Britain's first country park: a clifftop path above the Dee, a beach for fossicking below, and a visitor centre with bird hides. Wild-feeling without being remote.
A free community farm under Bidston Hill: pigs, goats, alpacas and hens, a woodland on the doorstep, and a café doing proper bacon butties. One of Merseyside's best zero-cost mornings.
One email a week: what is on this weekend within a sensible drive, and the places worth booking before they go.
