Our story
Our story
Born from a simple idea, Maze 52 is the creation of farmer Philly, her trusty sidekick Purdy and a small but hardworking team on the family farm.
Philly’s love of nature and the joy that comes from being outdoors was the reason she wanted to create a place where people can come and enjoy the stunning Derbyshire countryside. Each year the Maze 52 experience grows a little more magical, but, at its heart the mission remains the same - to get people outside, in the fresh air and reconnecting with each other.
Come on down and soak up all the good stuff Maze 52 has to offer!
“There’s no better feeling for me than seeing families so wrapped up in the fun, they forget to check their phones. That’s when I know we’ve created something truly special.”
— Philly, Founder Maze 52

We had such a lovely, wholesome time at Maze 52 today! The staff were all friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable and there was lots to do. The food was affordable and very tasty and we took a lovely big bunch of fresh wildflowers home as a wonderful memory of the day. We highly recommend a visit!

We have been to Maze 52 several times now and would highly highly recommend it. From the moment you arrive you’re made to feel so welcome and there’s never any pressure, nor do you feel like you want to leave. There is so more to see and do than just the maze. Our son was amused for hours while we sat and had a coffee and a bite to eat.
