No, once you have paid your entrance price all our activities are included.
What do we do in the maze?
Before you enter the maze you will be briefed on the challenge that awaits you inside. You will each get a game card explaining what you will have to do once inside the maze.
What if we get lost?
We have dedicated “searchers” patrolling the maze to help find lost souls! You can also buy a map of the maze to use just in case of emergencies!
Why is the maze only open for the summer & autumn?
Maize is an annual crop, which means it grows from seed that matures and dies within one season. This means we plant it in May, cut the pathways in June, open once it is big enough to get lost in July, then we have to harvest it in November before it dies! We then plough the field and start again with a new design next year. Perhaps you could send us your designs to help us for next year?
What happens if the weather conditions are bad, for example, rain?
Sometimes the weather does affect our opening times, we may have to delay opening or sometimes not open at all. However, the rain could affect health and safety but cold weather can still be fun with a coat and wellies! Please call 01354 741212 to check we are open before you set off.
Are dogs allowed in the Maze and Funyard?
Sorry, no dogs are allowed except guide dogs in the Maze and Funyard. They are allowed in the garden centre, on the cafe patio and the cafe garden which is adjacent to the Funyard. We also have a large field to the rear of the main site where you are welcome to walk your dog. Please sign in and out at the main garden centre.

We are open everyday from 10am to 5pm with the last entry to the maize maze and the pumpkin patch is at 4pm. We ask all our visitors to arrive as early as possible to make the most out of your day. The later you arrive the less chance you have of enjoying all the activities.
Can we just pick a pumpkin?
No, we do not allow pumpkin picking on it’s own as this attraction is more of a whole day out than just a pumpkn patch, but pumpkins grown in our fields are available to buy at the garden centre.
Are there extra changes for the actives?
No, all activities are included with your Halloween ticket. The only addition cost is buying your pumpkin.
Can we carve on-site?
Yes, you will have all the tools and help you need here in the carving marquee and better still we clean up the mess!
Where is there to eat?

Easter Funyard
This event is suitable for anybody over the age of 3, but under 3’s are more than welcome to attend.
Is the Funyard open?
Yes, all our brilliant usual Summer activities will be on as well as a fantastic comedy and magic show in our marquee.
Can we go in the Maize Maze?
No, unfortunately, the Maize Maze won’t be grown in time for Easter but there will still be lots of fun to be had.
What happens if it rains?
The weather can sometimes change our opening time – we sometimes have to delay opening or at worse not open altogether. We will only close if health and safety is a risk, however, we believe on cold days families can still have fun wearing coats and wellies.
Do you have to book lamb feeding?
Yes, when you arrive at the Funyard please state you would like to feed the Lambs and we shall book you in. Lamb Feeding is one of our most popular activities so we would advise you to arrive early to avoid disappointment.
How long does it take to feed the lambs
It doesn’t take long. Our little lambs are always hungry and they can guzzle a bottle of milk anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes!
What sort of show will be on?
We aim for a show that will have your children rolling on the floor laughing whilst wowing the adults with intriguing magic tricks.
Christmas Santa's Grotto
Will my child have time on their own with Father Christmas
Yes, your child along with their family will be ushered in to see the man himself and will have a great amount of time to talk to Father Christmas about what they hope to receive this Christmas.
What activities are on
Your child will enjoy meeting the Christmas elves, having a sing-along, making reindeer food, Build a bear, gingerbread decorating and doing festive colouring.
Do my children get given a gift?
Yes, they can choose to either build a bear or a toy from Santa’s toyshop. They choose their gift on the day, once they have been to see Santa. The bears and toys are also available to buy separately. A toy or a bear is included in your ticket price.
Can we buy photos on the day?
Yes, you can buy photos on the day but it will save time if you purchase in advance.
Is it outside?
No, our whole Christmas event is in our purpose-built indoor grotto – nice and cosy.
I want to bring a baby, do i need to pay for them?
No! As long as there’s a paying child, babies can come along free of charge, they just won’t receive a gift.
I can’t book all my adults, why is that?
We limit the amount of adults each child can bring due to the size of our space, we feel this way it doesn’t feel tight and ruining everyone’s experience. If you require more adults, please give us a call on 01354741212 and we’ll see how we can help.
