Tangmere Airfield Nurseries Ltd
Food Production
We are passionate pepper growers committed to producing fresh, top quality sweet bell peppers in a sustainable way.
About us
With more than 100 acres of hi-tech glasshouse production in the UK and Spain, Tangmere Airfield Nurseries Ltd is one of Europe’s largest sweet pepper nurseries. We specialise in growing, packing and distributing top quality sweet bell peppers to the UK’s major retailers and fresh produce markets. Established in the late 1980’s, the family-run business is based on the former Battle of Britain airfield, originally home to RAF Tangmere in Chichester, West Sussex. Our site in Extremadura, Spain, supplements our British crop in winter to provide a continuous supply of peppers all year-round. Our aim has always been to run a sustainable, horticulture business with passion and integrity. We continually invest in trialling new pepper varieties and innovative technologies to achieve the best results possible. State-of-the-art facilities ensure total efficiency with robust food safety and quality management systems to maintain the very highest standards – based on over thirty years’ experience and expertise. We are very proud to be a LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) Demonstration Farm in recognition of our commitment to promoting and delivering sustainable farming practices.

Did you know that we actively manage the environment outside of our glasshouses at Tangmere to enhance the sites’ biodiversity? 🌱 This includes planting native trees and plant species to encourage wildlife, as well as a number of bird boxes set up around the site to provide nesting opportunities. Our aim is to achieve the right balance through proactive environmental management alongside our production. The level of onsite biodiversity continually increases, and most recently, we are delighted to see our kestrel boxes occupied by chicks! 📸 Thanks to our talented staff Marcin & Rick, for capturing these images.

It’s official, summer is here! The sun has arrived in Tangmere, and our pepper crops are loving it! In fact, they are growing bigger by the day and have grown more than four times in size since first planted, to reach over 2 metres 😲 The season is in full swing, which means our teams are harvesting our colourful peppers daily to bring you a taste of summer! ☀️💛 #britishgrowers #britishproduce #sweetpeppers #summertime #tangmere
