Inside Croydon subscriber Ben Clarke is the lucky winner of a free family ticket to visit the Bluebell in Lavenderland experience at its Epsom site.

Ben has been a loyal patron for this website since 2024, not only supporting our independent journalism, but also able to access our premium content podcasts, listening in to The Andrew Fisher Interviews, benefit from priority bookings and discounts, and able to enter our frequent prize competitions, such as this one with the prize provided by Mayfield Lavender.

Ben was chosen at random from responses to our posting on the Inside Croydon Patreon page, and now he and a family group of up to four will have the chance to enjoy the beautiful Secret Garden before the lavender season begins, and step into a springtime adventure with beautiful floral displays and a fun, immersive activity trail featuring enchanting characters, memory-making photo opportunities, and other seasonal surprises to discover along the way.

We hope that Ben and his family enjoy their day out.

Bluebell in Lavenderland is now open through to Monday, May 4. Opening Hours: 10am – 5pm. Arrival Slots: 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm (last timed entry). Time slots are for arrival only.
