Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear like wellington boots or walking boots, especially after rain, as the ground can become muddy and uneven.
  • Bring a torch for navigating the main maze and the 'Spook Maze' during evening hours, particularly during October half term.
  • Consider purchasing a season ticket if you plan to visit multiple times, as it can offer significant savings compared to individual entry.
  • While dogs are not permitted in the maze, they are allowed on a lead around the play zone's edge; ensure they are well-behaved and clean up after them.
  • Check the website or social media for sunflower bloom updates if you're interested in picking sunflowers, as this is a separate seasonal attraction.
