Summer Fun for all the Family

Walk Like an Egyptian......
This year the giant 8 acre maize maze is designed in the shape of Tutankhamun's Mask, with a quiz trail themed on Ancient Civilizations hidden amongst its 3 miles of intricate pathways.
The award-winning maze welcomed more than 13,000 visitors last summer, and we are confident it will prove to be as popular as the Egyptian exhibition at the O2 in London, which has now been extended untill the end of August.

And it is not only Wistow that has fallen under the spell of the ancient Pharoahs, in addition to Tutankhamun gracing the fields at Wistow, Leicestershire County Council has also chosen an Egyptian theme for the Market Towns Initiative this summer.




The new "Wistow Farm Shop" has now opened at the Wistow Rural Centre.


The church is open every weekend from Easter to the end of September
