POSTS STORIES REELS

Well, we have some rather exciting news to share, and to be honest, we still can’t quite believe it! 🌻🎃

We’ve only gone and been named as FINALISTS in TWO categories at the National Farm Attractions Network Awards 2027!

🏆 David Taylor Forward Thinking Business Award - one of just FOUR finalists nationally!

🏆 Best Event - for our Sunset in the Sunflowers Picnic Evenings!

When we first heard about the awards, we very nearly didn’t enter. After all, we’re just a little family-run business on our working farm in Staffordshire, and the thought of putting ourselves up against some of the biggest farm attractions in the country seemed a little daunting!

But we decided to give it a go, never really expecting to hear anything more. So you can imagine our faces when we discovered we’d been shortlisted not once, but TWICE!

What started as a little idea to diversify our family farm has grown into something that we’re incredibly proud of. We’ve poured so much time, hard work and love into creating Lichfield Maize Maze, and it really does mean the world to us to receive this sort of recognition on a national stage.

And of course, none of it would be possible without all of you who come back year after year, bring your friends and families, get hopelessly lost in our mazes, pick our flowers and pumpkins, and make our little corner of Staffordshire such a special place.

We really can’t thank you enough for supporting us and helping us turn our rather ambitious ideas into something so special.

Whatever happens on awards night, we’re absolutely delighted just to have made it this far. But we’ll certainly be keeping everything crossed! 🧡🌻🎃

After all of your brilliant guesses, it’s finally time to reveal the 2026 Lichfield Maize Maze! 🌽

🦧 Our Main Maze is a magnificent Orangutan, with over 3½ miles of paths to explore.

🦜 Our Mini Maze is a beautiful Scarlet Macaw, ready for younger explorers and families to enjoy.

This year we’re celebrating the incredible rainforests of our world, inspired by Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday. As you explore the maze, you’ll discover some of the amazing animals that call these forests home, learn why rainforests are so important, and uncover just a little of what makes them one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

🌽 Opening Friday 24th July 2026.

We can’t wait to welcome you this summer!

What do you think of this year’s design? ⬇️

Better late than never I took way too many photos on our day out to @lichfieldmaizemaze and I couldn’t decide on which I liked best so the more the merrier by @lichfieldmaizemaze

WOW… we honestly don’t quite know what to say! 🥹❤️

As we close the gates on our 2026 season, we’ve been looking back at what an incredible year it’s been. There’s been a lot of hard work, some challenges along the way, plenty of unforgettable moments and so much to be grateful for. We were already feeling incredibly proud of our little family business, but just when we thought the year couldn’t get any more special, we’ve had some amazing news! 🤩

We’re already eagerly awaiting the National Farm Attractions Network Awards, where we’re finalists in TWO categories. But today we’ve found out that we’ve also been shortlisted in the @lichfielddistrictcouncil 2026 Beacon Awards in not one, not two, but THREE categories!

We’re absolutely over the moon!

To see our little family business standing alongside some of the biggest and most successful businesses in our district, many of whom we’ve admired for years, is a real honour.

We can’t wait for a fantastic evening celebrating our wonderful local business community at the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens on 3rd December.

A huge congratulations to all the other finalists, particularly @thepattyfreaks, who joined us this October serving their incredible smash burgers, and @poms_brunch, who helped keep you all fed and watered in previous years. Both have been shortlisted in the Hospitality category! 🍔❤️

Wishing everyone the very best of luck on the night. We can’t wait to celebrate with you all!

What an incredible high to end our season on. We’re so proud of our little team and so grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way. None of it would be possible without you! ❤️🌽🌻🎃

@lichfieldmaizemaze had fantastic decorations this Halloween!🎃 #pumpkin #photography #humour by @lichfieldmaizemaze

Halloween family day out 🎃
📍@lichfieldmaizemaze
Such an easy day of parenting when we visited, as the kids just ran in the open area and entertained themselves with a sandpit, Mini tractors, hay bales, swing tennis, garden games, pumpkin patch and the wonderful mazes.

We had been kindly invited on this occasion but we have visited previous years too, as its a lovely family day out and only 15 minutes away.

Definitely one to check out!

And just like that, 2026 has come to a close.

We can hardly believe that’s it for another year. All those months of planning, hard work, blood, sweat and tears, and suddenly it’s all over.

It’s been one of the toughest years we can remember on the farm. From battling the drought this summer to the storms that seemed determined to test us this October, growing things and keeping everything looking beautiful has been far from easy.

But amongst all the challenges, there have been some truly wonderful moments.

We’ve welcomed thousands and thousands of you through our gates to explore our rainforest-themed maize mazes, which we really do think were our best yet. We’ve been overwhelmed by your kind words, lovely letters, emails and messages, and by some incredibly special moments that have taken place here.

Five couples got engaged at Lichfield Maize Maze this year. FIVE! To think that people would choose our little corner of Staffordshire to become part of such an important chapter in their lives is something we’ll never quite get over.

To our incredible team, who have worked so hard through sunshine, rain, wind and everything in between, thank you. And to every single person who visited, recommended us to a friend, shared a photograph or simply sent us a kind message, thank you too. You really do make all of this worthwhile.

For now, there’s an enormous amount of tidying up to do. But our three children have once again sacrificed a great deal of time with us while we’ve poured everything into making this season happen. So we’re looking forward to slowing down, hunkering down for the winter and enjoying some much-needed family time.

And of course, the planning for 2027 has already begun. We know what next year’s theme will be, but we’re keeping that little secret until the spring.

So from our family to yours, thank you for being part of our 2026 story. We hope you all have a wonderful, cosy winter.

With love and thanks,

Alice, Richard, Katy, Edward & Henry 🌻🎃

Whether you choose to celebrate or not, I hope you’ve all had a lovely Saturday! 🧡

I’ve spent mine getting into the autumn spirit at @lichfieldmaizemaze , picking pumpkins ready to carve and hunting for the rainforest creatures hidden amongst the maize! 🎃🌽🍂

A lovely way to spend Halloween! 🥰

What a GORGEOUS final day here at Lichfield Maize Maze!

Blue skies, thousands of pumpkins still to pick, beautiful wildflowers in bloom and our two maize mazes waiting to be explored one last time!

The fire pits are roaring, marshmallows are toasting, the ice cream freezer is stocked and the sun is shining!

You’ve still got the afternoon to come and join us before our 2026 mazes disappear forever!

Tickets still available online or at the gate. We’d absolutely love to see you for one last afternoon on the farm!
