2026 MAZE – OPEN WEEKENDS IN SEPTEMBER
(We then switch to Pumpkin Patch opening in October)

Since we opened in 2005, we have welcomed thousands of visitors every year to Raines Hall Farm, the home of Lakeland Maze Farm Park. The first attraction we had was the Maize Maze, and it is still the highlight for many of our customers during the months of July to October. In addition to our maize mazes, we have 2 permanent all-weather mazes—our wooden Panel Maze and the indoor Bunny Burrows tube maze! 

Maze Maps are available to purchase for £1, if you manage not to open it from the envelope you get your £1 back! We would definitely recommend taking one with you if you are wanting to tackle the big maze, just in case.

We have 2 Maize Mazes, the mini maze (which takes up to around 15 minutes to complete) and the main maze (which can take up to 90 minutes to complete but there are exit points along the route if needed). Everyone does the mini maze first, and then you can decide if you want to continue or not.

The Mini Maze

The Mini Maize Maze is especially suited to our younger (and older) visitors. Despite being just as tall as the main maze, this one is much quicker to complete so requires less walking time, it’s also pushchair and wheelchair friendly although may get a little muddy after bad weather conditions. Children must of course be accompanied by an adult in the Mini Maze.

Comfort & Safety

  • Do wear shoes suitable for walking – in wet weather wear boots or wellies!
  • Please make sure your whole group listens to the safety briefing at the maze entrance, this is incredibly important as the field is a working maize field and the ground may be uneven in places, so please take care. We are not responsible for personal injury sustained on-site or the loss of personal items.
  • Remember the crop is maize, not sweetcorn, DO NOT eat it – it will most likely make you unwell. We harvest the maize to feed our cattle over Winter so please don’t steal it.
  • In hot weather please make sure you wear sunscreen, have water and drink plenty, it does get hot in the maze when the sun shines as there is little to no breeze once you’re inside the maze.
  • Please remember to visit the toilets before you enter the maze – you could potentially be in there for up to hours and there are no loos inside!
  • If you get into difficulty, please follow instructions from your safety briefing or call the number on the back of your leaflet.
  • Whatever the weather, and no matter how well you do, we assure you it’s brilliant fun for all!

Here are some of our previous mazes!

Our 22nd maze design has now been revealed, this is based on Wally, our Llama X Alpaca.

We celebrated our 21st maize maze in 2025, see last year’s celebratory design below!

What is there to do outside of maize season?

Outside of maize season and alongside the maize maze, we have a farm park full of activities which are all included in your entry fee!
