Summer fun for families in Maize Maze

Visitors to a popular Shropshire tourist attraction will be forgiven for getting lost as they enjoy the latest a-mazing activity.

Park Hall Countryside Experience's Maize Maze is back by popular demand and has just opened for the summer.

Staff at the Oswestry attraction say the fun puzzle is a big hit with all the family.

Marketing and education officer Rachel Mottram said: "This activity is brilliant fun for all the family."

She added: "The maze has been created by Park Hall director Richard Powell. His aim was to design a pattern which was challenging, but not too long, because there are so many other activities to do at the farm.

"It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get round it – if you don't get too lost.

"The crop in which the maze is cut is a field of fodder maize which will eventually be harvested for cattle feed in late September, but until then it is there for the fun and entertainment of Park Hall's visitors.

"There's a day packed with action, fun and adventure waiting for all the family, and with a generous helping of cuddly and friendly animals for everyone to enjoy, there's not a minute to waste.

"Get up close to your farmyard favourites with a regular schedule of interactive events or join in the action packed fun in the two massive indoor play barns and a host of outdoor adventure areas.

"Best of all for the kids are the brilliant driving activities with electric cars, 4x4 Land Rovers and quad bikes."
