Mayfield’s Photography Competition 2026
The Mayfield Photography Competition returns for another season, celebrating the beauty, creativity and special moments captured across our fields and gardens.
This year, we’re inviting entries across three themed categories, open to everyone, whether you’re visiting for the first time or the hundredth time, capturing memories, or creating something a little more styled…
CATEGORIES
Best Dressed
From everyday outfits to styled shoots, show us your look in the lavender. Open to everyone – from visitors to photographers, creators and influencers.
Best Family Photo
Capture your family day out at Mayfield Lavender, whether it’s a candid moment or a beautifully styled shoot. Open to both visitors and photographers.
Best Pet
Animals of all shapes and sizes love our fields, and we welcome pets of every kind, from dogs and cats to rodents, reptiles, and even horses (by prior arrangement). Whether a spontaneous playful moment or a posed portrait, we encourage all entries.

We’re always so impressed by the beautiful photos we receive each year, choosing a winner is never easy.
This competition is something we run for fun and to celebrate the magic of Mayfield, so please keep in mind that the final decision is subjective. It’s not always the most technically perfect image that wins, but the one that captures something special and feels right to us.
A few tips from us
Based on the many wonderful entries we’ve seen over the years, here are a few things we love:
– Showcasing something special about the farm
– A beautiful sky, it really helps bring a photo to life
– Lavender at its best (ideally not past peak bloom)
– Natural editing, not overly filtered or heavily photoshopped
– Thoughtful composition and attention to detail
– Including elements that make it unmistakably our farm, from the layout to the surroundings
Important information
– Maximum of three entries per person
– Entrants must be 16 years or over
– All photos must be taken at Mayfield Lavender Farm (Banstead) or the Secret Garden at Mayfield Glasshouse (Epsom), and must be your own original work
– If people appear in your photo, you must have their permission (for children, from a parent/guardian)
