The Maize Maze at Skylark has opened for summer 2024.

The family attraction, near March and Chatteris, have dedicated their giant 12 acre Summer Maize Maze & Funyard design to supporting Team GB at the Paris Olympics!

Visitors are able to follow over 3 kilometres of pathways to complete the Olympic-themed game and solve the maize maze challenge. 

It took the events team a week of toiling in the fields to cut out the pathways using a rotavator, after they were carefully mapped out using GPS technology.
