MAZE UPDATE: The maze is now CLOSED, but will re-open in July 2026

Enjoy a fun day out exploring one of the country's largest maize mazes, set in 8 acres of living maize and sunflower crop.

It's great exercise for mind and body! Perfect for all ages, with staff outings even more popular than school trips! Follow the fun Quiz Trail, and see if you can find all 12 quiz boards hidden amongst the 3 miles of paths, with high level bridges and viewing towers giving stunning panoramic views.

You can come in and out of the giant maze as many times as you like during the day. Maybe stopping for lunch, or playing in the Activity Funyard before re-entering and completing the Quiz Trail.

GET DIRECTIONS

Weather Closures: Due to bad weather, we may sometimes need to close the maze. We update the website as soon as we know of any closure, so please check before you leave home.

Top Tips

1. Bring a pen for the Quiz Trail.
2. Wear sensible shoes (wellies after rain), as paths get muddy.
3. After bad weather, check website or ring 07884 403889 in case of closure.
4. Bring protection in hot weather.
5. Leave dogs at home.

Important Info

The maze paths are simply packed earth and can be uneven in places and muddy during wet weather, making it less suitable for wheelchairs. Pushchairs can easily get round, but after rain it is more difficult. Being a living crop, the maize changes throughout the season.

No Dogs

Dogs are not allowed (except Guide Dogs) in the Maze or Activity Funyard. There are, however, fields for dog walking nearby.
