THE SUMMER MAZE
THE SUMMER MAZE
In the stunning Derbyshire countryside, Maze 52 is the perfect place to enjoy a day of outdoor fun with family, friends and even your furry companions. Wind your way through our seasonal maze, packed with twists, turns and surprises around every corner.
But, our Maze is just the beginning! Explore our Wildflower fields, challenge each other to outdoor games, relax with delicious food and drink or let your dog run wild in our dedicated dog agility park.
Whether you’re spending the whole day with us or just stopping by for an ice cream, there’s something for everyone at Maze 52.
THE MAZES
Out here being a-maze-ing!
THE MAIN MAZE
Test your map reading skills as you wind your way through the rows of maize, enjoying the games and challenges along the way. The main maze takes on an exciting new design every year (keep your eyes peeled for the reveal of our 2025 design!) and spans a whopping 7 acres, taking roughly 45 minutes to complete. Are you up for the challenge?
THE MINI MAZE
Our mini maze gets even better in 2025 as you ‘bang’, & ‘ding’ and & ‘crash’ your way around the maze. Our mini maze is great fun for everyone, but it’s perfect for younger visitors, or simply those who want to ease themselves into taking on the main maze.

Please remember you will be walking around a field! So wear suitable footwear and keep an eye on the weather. On rainy days, if we have had very heavy rain we may have to close the mazes.
