Thornton Abbey Maze

During the school Easter holidays we open for Lambing Live at the maze! We have a Easter word quiz to complete and have lots of  games and activities to do; including jumping pillow, crazy golf, wheely sledges and maze games. We also have kade lambs to feed during the day along with other sheep and lambs to see.

Please note at busy times it might not be possible for everyone to have a go at feeding, but we will do our best!

We will also have our Easter special tractor ride with woodland Easter egg hunt! This will be at 11am and 2pm.

The cafe is normally open from 11am where you can get hot and cold snacks and drinks.

Cold drinks, tea and coffee are usually available.   Chocolate bars and crisps are also sold. This year we will also have our cafe open, with chips & burgers, hot dogs, toasties, sandwiches and cakes.

 We also have a good selection of ice lollies.   Picnics are allowed.

Accessibility and Amenities

We welcome everyone at the maze, we now have three toilets, one with wide door access. Unfortunately we don't as yet have ramp access into the toilets. We also have a separate baby change room.

During dry weather the maze courtyard is accessible for wheelchair users, but most of it is a grass field there is limited hardstanding.   The maze itself is probably not suitable for wheelchair users but it does depend on the type of wheelchair.   There is also a side entrance so wheelchair users don't have to go through the shop.

Most of the attractions are disabled friendly and we are happy to help in whatever way we can to ensure you have a good day out.
