Tried the maize maze last August a couple of times, took about 45 minutes when I went in by myself. More challenging than I expected which was great. There are named animals scattered around for kids to find. Would go back this year. Not sure if the maze layout stays the same or changes every year, though?

We came here to visit a wool shop but found lots of other craft shops within the centre including 3 gift shops, a antiques shop We particularly enjoyed the miniature dolls house shop engaging with the owner about how satisfying crafting is. There was a cafe which offered lunches and snacks . A very enjoyable find
I visited 'And Sew On' wonderful shop for all your stitching needs. Amazing selection of fabrics for quilting, dressmaking, soft furnishing and anything else you could possibly want (and a sale room). Also visited 'Sconch' a fabulous yarn emporium. Everything for knitting & crochet, lots of ideas and so much yarn to choose from and classes! Both shops have very friendly and helpful staff.
It is a nice place to go to eat and browse the few shops. The restaurant changed hands recently: (Timbers). It is being refurbished and the people who own the wool shop there are moving into it and combining the two businesses. At the moment until the refurbishment is complete that a temporary 'Pop up tea shop's, which serves tea coffee soft drinks and sandwiches cakes and jacket potatoes served from a tent with tables and chairs on the grass - only good on a fine day but soon we hope to move back into restaurant/ workshop. Other shops include a gaming shop, dress shop, antiques and plants, art shop, remnant fabrics, nail bar, spiritual shop, and a two storey beautiful fabric sewing shop with just about everything you could need related to sewing. Sorry if I have missed anything or anybody out!
The wife likes it. Great friendly knitting shop and dressmaking shop which she uses a fair bit. Haven't really been in the other shops but they seem to be arts and crafts. Restaurant on site but we haven't used it. Nice for a local ride out.
