Mayfield Lavender appears in new fantasy film ‘The Lost Girls’

About

A popular Surrey beauty spot has landed a role as Neverland in the newest Peter Pan film.

Mayfield Lavender Farm in Banstead features prominently in new fantasy film ‘The Lost Girls’ – a modern retelling of J.M Barrie’s Peter Pan, from the perspective of Wendy Darling.

Since its premiere this summer, the film has hit cinemas in the US and UK as well as streaming services like Amazon and Google Play. 

Starring household names such as Vanessa Redgrave and Game of Thrones’ actor Ian Glen, the story follows Wendy into old age as four generations of Darling women deal with the consequences of having met Peter Pan and journeyed to Neverland. 

The lavender field, as Neverland, provides a magical escape from the real world - a place the Darling women visit with Pan over their respective teenage years.

This isn’t the first time Mayfield has appeared on the big screen. Previous movies shot at the location include Malayalam film ‘London Bridge’, Bollywood film ‘Azhar’ and The Crimson Petal and the White drama series featuring Richard E. Grant.

• Mayfield Lavender Farm is now closed for the 2022 season but will reopen in June 2023. Its gift shop and garden nursery in Epsom, Surrey, remains open all year and can be found at 139 Reigate Road, Epsom, KT17 3DW.
