Well done to all our competition winners in our pygmy goat naming competition!

Our goats names are now Munch (named by Isabelle Kay), Blossom (named by Hannah Eaton), Mabel (named by Lily May Falshaw), Lovely Bob (named by Bethany Machin), Geoffrey (named by Adam Hughes) and Tahnee (named by Joshua Alderson).

This week may be your last chance to see these chicks as they will be leaving the nest any day now...



" Where is she? "
" She must have got lost in the maze again"
" I told her to open the map "
" We'll have to get her a sat nav before we head off for South Africa "

Can you spot the tractor behind the new chicken shed?
And see Farmer Ed checking to see if the concrete is dry...

Taking a Tractor Ride is just one of the many things you can do when you come to visit!

Why not come and meet our pony like these two lucky visitors?
All part of the fun at the Lakeland Maze Farm Park!

Can you see the climbers in the busy indoor area?

Here are some happy maze people having a break in the maze...

Here's a couple of pics - the Outdoor Play Area...



...and is this Formula One or some untidy parking and an unhappy Traffic Warden?!

Just a quick reminder that if it's been raining and is wet underfoot, please bring your WELLIES! We do have some for hire should you forget...

Here are a couple of pics of our new guinea pigs, Mr. T and Simon...can you tell which one is which? Come and see us to find out...

These are the winners on Victory Bridge...



and here are the second placed team...defeated but still smiling!

The main maize is now all cut out and the quiz boards will be done this next week and put out ready for opening on the 16th July.

We have launched our competition to name 6 of our pygmy goats, win tickets to moonlit mazes in september or a family pass for September.

Enter the competition when you visit the Maze.

Our pets will be at Hayes Garden World Show Sunday July 19th so see us there to ask for more information about the maze.

We have had some saddleback pigs arrive for the summer courtesy of Sillfield farm, Gatebeck and are looking forward to settling in some new guinea pigs this week.

We have been pleased to have another new school this week visiting and look forward to welcoming crossthwaite toddler group and caton toddler group, as well as being overrun by kendal brownies and guides for their visit next week.

The mini maize has opened very successfully so far this week, this is the earliest we have ever opened the maze and have been very encouraged to see so many visitors...

The challenge seems to be to find quiz board number 8 with out opening the map, not many have managed it so far.

Yes, from today you can visit the Mini Maze - see the Maze Information page for more details and opening times. See you soon!

Follow me with that mower. See the man with the GPS guiding where the mower goes to make the new design in the Maize Maze.

Don't forget the Mini Maze opens on Saturday 4th July!!

This is the design for the 2009 Maize Maze being cut...

The Alpacas are wondering what is going on in the maze field

This next week we are aiming to get all our sheep sheared too so it is another busy week on the farm.

The mini maize will be cut out this next week in to the shape of an egg, it is now above knee height and so it is on target for opening...

The Mini Maze opens on Saturday 4th July.

The main maize maze design is nearly complete and is in the shape of a chicken, chicks and egg...make sure you come and see it ! The Main Maze opens on Thursday 16th July.

Come and see me and all my friends at the Lakeland Maze Farm Park...

The maize is really growing fast now...it'll be a proper maze well in time for opening. Don't forget, the Mini Maze opens on Saturday 4th July and the Main Maize on Thursday 16th July...see you there!

We are taking our pets to Dent Show this Sunday so come along to meet our Bunnies and Guinea Pigs. Why not come along and say hello?

This week we've been busy building a new outdoor Go Kart track for some of our larger Go Karts.

Last week we had "Playtime Toddlers" from Heysham here for the day. They have named 2 of our goats in attatched picture CAGNEY & LACEY...

We had 5 parties last weekend, which meant a really busy time but was lots of fun! It was lovely to receive the following message from one of the parents:
"We wanted to thank everyone concerned for making the party such an enjoyable event last Saturday. Everything was so well organised and all the children had a great time."

Here's a photo of the mini maize maze soon after it was planted. See how it's covered with plastic to protect it from any late frost. It will be ready for the Mini Maze to open on Saturday 4th July. See you there!

What a busy time on the farm...this week we planted the maize. Watch this space and follow its progress as it grows in time for the opening of the Maize Maze! Don't forget the Mini Maze opens on Saturday 4th July. (We planted that a little while ago under plastic to give it a little bit of help through any late frost.) It's looking good!

We're looking forward to a great week-end...we've got 5 Children's Parties booked! Should be fun!

We were all really excited with the opening of the new Puzzle Barn. It was a great success with our visitors and well worth all the hard work to get it ready in time for the holidays. Come and see it for yourself over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend!

We had lots of visitors to the Lakeland Maze Farm Park over the Easter holidays. The weather was mostly good so there were a lot of people enjoying themselves outside as well as indoors.
