The UK’s 
annual celebration of the British pea harvesting season will return for its eighth year, taking place between 3 and 9 July. It will again be a week-long celebration of one of Britain's favorite vegetables and the 700 farmers who produce it.
The largest producer and consumer of frozen peas in Europe is the UK, with the average person in Britain eating nearly 9,000 peas per year. Approximately 700 pea growers, who work within 16 different grower groups, will harvest 2 billion portions of peas to feed Britain for the year.
There are currently 18 farmer groups along the east coast of the UK, from Essex to North of Dundee who produce the pea crop.
