• What are the dates of event?

We open on Wednesday 9th August and run until 3rd September. We are open every day, subject to weather. In the case of severe weather, we may take the decision to cancel and will contact all guests booked for that day via email to arrange for tickets to be moved to a different day.

• What are your opening times?

We are open from 10am – 4pm. Last entry is 3pm.

• Is the site disabled access friendly? 

The paths of the maze are wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and pushchairs, however, please be aware that the ground consists of mud with no hardstanding, so therefore can be uneven in places and on a slope. If it rains, the ground may become muddy, so access to the path may become difficult for wheelchairs and pushchairs at these times.

• Who can I contact if I have a ticket enquiry?

Please contact marketing@cowdray.co.uk or call 01730 812423

• What happens if it rains? 

Due to the nature of the paths of the Maize Maze it’s likely that we will have to close if we experience heavy rain. This is also to protect the car park for future days. If we make this decision, we will send out a notification the night before the event via social media and on email to those booked in. We will give guests the option initially to move their booking to a different day, and following that a refund.

• What is the maize and sunflowers used for? 

Maize is a tall crop that will grow to approx. 6ft tall and is very closely related to sweetcorn. It is harvested whole, stored and fed to cows over winter. The sunflowers will be harvested for seed if there are any left at the end of the event.

• What else can I do during my visit? 

Cowdray Farm Shop is 5-minute walk away and Cowdray Ruins is approx. 15-minute walk away. Please ask our friendly team on-site for directions.

• There’s a public right of way across the car park – will this still be open?  

Yes, we have not closed it and so the PRoW will be accessible at all times. This will be accessible at all time and alternative route to avoid the car park will also be available.
