About
Hayles Fruit Farm is at Hailes, about 3 miles by road from Winchcombe, next to Hailes Abbey. Lord Sudeley planted its orchards in 1880, and the same family has run the farm since 1950. It presses its own apple juice and makes Hayles cider, and has a farm shop, the Orchard Kitchen café, pick your own, a campsite, fishing and a nature trail.
It opens Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 4pm in winter, from 3 November 2026 to the end of March, and from 9am to 5pm in summer, and is closed on Mondays. The Orchard Kitchen serves breakfast and brunch until 3pm, from eggs Benedict to a full English, with vegan and gluten-free choices, then homemade cakes, barista coffee and loose-leaf tea. Weekends are walk-in only; groups can book on weekdays.
The farm shop sells the farm's fruit and vegetables in season, produce from local makers, and the juice and cider. Pick your own runs from strawberries in June to pumpkins in October. The campsite takes caravans, motorhomes and tents and sits on the Cotswold Way, which makes the café a useful stop for walkers.
The campsite has 12 hardstandings with electric hook-ups for caravans and motorhomes, a separate area of the field for tents, and a toilet and shower block. Dogs are welcome at £1 a night. Check-in is from 2pm to 8pm and check-out before noon; book online, or email the farm for large and Duke of Edinburgh groups.
