Shropshire Petals Flower Field

Fun & Interesting Facts

Shropshire Petals is a fourth-generation flower farm tucked away in the rolling countryside near Newport, with over 10 million petals hand-picked and dried on site every summer.

They grow natural, biodegradable petal confetti by hand, making every bloom matter. Known for their eco-friendly approach and spectacular flower fields, this family-run business has become a true favourite for weddings, celebrations, and flower lovers across the UK.

About

Will You Life Higher from the Flower Field?

For one magical week only, we’ll be floating up, up and away from the middle of Shropshire’s most colourful patch. During Shropshire Petal Fields Open Week (24 July – 3 August 2025), we’re offering a select number of exclusive morning balloon flights right from the heart of the blooming fields.

You won't need to book on to this flight as this location will be used as a stunning alternative launch site for Telford and Shrewsbury.

These special flights will take off after sunrise (weather permitting), giving passengers a bird’s eye view over acres of pink, purple, blue and cream petals, glowing gently in the early morning light. It’s nature. It’s beauty. It’s unforgettable.
