45 Amazing UK Maize Mazes To Visit In 2021
Maize mazes are becoming more and more popular and are popping up all over the country. If you are looking to visit one this year for a fun, socially distanced outdoor activity, there is bound to be a maize maze near you.
The maize mazes all open around late July and run through the whole of the summer holidays into September. Many of the mazes are on working farms and others at farm parks where there are lots of other family-friendly things to do.
The designs change each year and can be incredibly intricate . We have found our local maze to be quite challenging but it all adds to the fun!
We have included over 40 maize mazes in the UK but there are still lots more. If you don’t find one here near you, you can also search ‘best maize maze near me’ or look on the official maize maze association website.
Tip: Although we are keeping our fingers crossed for a fabulous British summer – be prepared for all weathers. Even if the weather is beautiful on the day of your visit, if it has rained recently, the maze fields will be very muddy so we recommend packing wellies just in case.
Please also check with the venue to see whether tickets need to be pre-booked.
