🌳 A FREE MAZE & GARDEN CENTRE TO VISIT- 💥AN IDEA FOR A DAY OUT BY WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE
Friday 30 May 2025
👀 A FREE A- MAZ-ING HIDDEN GEM IN BEDFORDSHIRE at Roxton Garden Centre! A maze that is free to go too, kids & adults will love it...... if you can find it that is!
🤔SO WHERE IS IT?
This FREE MAZE is located at the wonderful Roxton Garden Centre in Bedfordshire. When you enter the car park you will not see any signposts for it. As you go in the car park facing the garden centre turn right, then turn left as if you are heading for a dead end, it may seem like you are heading for the delivery entrance but there you will see trees on your right and a sign in front of you 'Roxton Maze'.
The maze is located next to the garden centre in a spacious field with a few benches to sit on. At the moment it is being trimmed back due to some hanging branches, we had to duck and dive a few times but it added to all the fun we had.
♿️ IS THE MAZE SUITABLE FOR PUSHCHAIRS OR WHEELCHAIRS?
I would say it is NOT suitable as there are branches, some on the floor and hanging low, some spaces may not be big enough to venture through and also the surface may not be suitable in my personal opinion. It can get muddy too.
🔓WHEN IS THE MAZE OPEN?
The Maze is open the same time when the Garden Centre is open. The details are below.
Please beware they may close the maze at anytime due to maintenance, so it maybe a good idea to contact them before planning your trip to avoid disappointment.
🌺 THE GARDEN CENTRE
The garden centre is wheelchair friendly and dog friendly. You can buy things from plants, to clothes, to toys. Definitely worth a look!
☕️ THE CAFE
The cafe has hot and cold food and drink options at reasonable prices. There is a kids menu and an indoor & outdoor space with unmbrellas to sit in the sun and relax amongst the outdoor flower section of the Garden Centre. Dogs are allowed but they are not allowed in the main restaurant area. Just ask staff if you are not sure, they will be happy to help. They do a great carvery on a Sunday, you may need to book for this as it can get quite busy serving between 11:30 - 3:30pm.

👻 Paranormal Event at Westbury Manor, Milton Keynes
Friday 30 May 2025
Time: 19:30 - 00:45 Price: £46.90
👻 Westbury Manor is an atmospheric farm house situated in the west side of Milton Keynes. We were the first team to have access to this historic building and are very privileged to be able to visit regularly.
Every time we go we get closer to the spirits still residing there and have been blown away by what we have picked up!
🏚 ABOUT THE HOUSE
Originally the house was a 14th Century moated manor and was replaced in 1650 by the house we see today. The building was a farm and a home for generations of tenants and owners and is now used as an arts and exhibition centre.
There isnt much documented history on the building so we are gradually piecing information together that we have gathered from our investigations.
ℹ️ ABOUT US
If you have never been out with us before you will be safe knowing you are with a professional and friendly team. I have been investigating the paranormal now for over 20 years and welcome you to share your knowledge and experiences with us.
We work slightly differently to other teams, in that we go not to get evidence of spirit, but to connect with them and the history of the building. We peel back the many layers and help any spirits that need it.
▪️AGES: Over 18s only
🎟 TICKET PRICES: £46.90
Once you have secured your place we cannot offer refunds due to spaces being so limited we have to cover the costs on hiring the venue.
You are however, able to sell your space to someone else. Look forward to welcoming you
🚫 NOTE: Strictly NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS! Over anyone thought to be under the influence will be asked to leave immediately with no refund.
