New giant Maize Maze family attraction now open at Blackpool's Ridgeway Farm

Ridgeway Farm, on Peel Road, has already become established as a petting farm for visitors, complete with cafe.

Now the farm, which has been run by the Kirkham family for eight generations, has expanded its horizons by opening the new feature, aptly called Maize Maze.

The attraction opened just last week.

There are currently 48 Maize Maze sites across England and the first one to open on the Fylde coast was at Mount Farm, Singleton, but that attraction closed in 2019.

Helen Chappell, part of the Kirkham family, said: “It ticks all the boxes because we can still use the land for growing our crops while bringing in extra revenue during the summer.

"We have two mazes, a smaller for very young children and a much bigger which takes at least two hours to get through, so it’s a proper day out.”

The theme for the maze is Dr Moo, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of Dr Who.

The Ridgeway Farm maze is now open seven days a week throughout August and will be open every weekend in September, from 10am until 4pm.

Tickets costs £7.50 online or £8-£10 on the gate.
