We are also open during October half term, when we split our mazes up into 3 and change the game boards to a HALLOWEEN theme !

We also open up the Halloween themed SPOOK maze to be done by torchlight for the more adventurous!!. Don’t forget that this maze will be open weekends in October and from Saturday 28th October 2023 to Sunday 5th November 2023, so Wellies, waterproofs and torches are a must.
