Dove Fields Halloween Maize Maze

Visitors can navigate three themed mazes, including an illuminated mini maze and a spook maze tackled by torchlight. Explorers work through Halloween game boards and quizzes hidden within the corn to enter a prize draw. The site also features a pick-your-own pumpkin patch and a play zone with bale towers, climbing frames, swings, and pedal tractors.

Tips & Advice

  • Bring a torch to navigate the main maze and spook maze in the dark.
  • Wear wellington boots and waterproofs, as the field paths are uneven and turn muddy and slippery when wet.
  • Follow local road signs on the A515, as using the postcode in satnav directs you to a petrol station half a mile away.

Special Events & Promotions

  • During October half term, the mazes split into three and the game boards switch to a Halloween theme.
  • The Halloween-themed Spook maze is open by torchlight on October weekends and daily during October half term.
  • A £30 family ticket is available online only.
  • A £20 non-transferable season ticket is available for ages 3 and above; visiting the summer mazes twice and Halloween mazes once saves money.
