🌳 A FREE MAZE & GARDEN CENTRE TO VISIT- 💥AN IDEA FOR A DAY OUT BY WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE
Saturday 05 April 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!

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.

🗓 ROXTON GARDEN CENTRE & MAZE OPENING TIMES

🤔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.

🎭 Macbeth at Wrest Park, Silsoe
Saturday 05 April 2025
Time: 19:00
🎭 “The earth hath bubbles as the water has, and these are of them.”
🗓 2025 SHOW DATES:
▪️Friday 4th April
▪️Saturday 5th April
ABOUT:
In the 19th Century the Dining Room at Wrest Park was the site of many private theatrical performances, with the installation of a moveable North Wall allowing for the extension of stage space. Lavish dinner parties were followed by dazzling theatrics. There were 250 guests - the gentry of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, friends and family.
🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
On the 4th and 5th of April the Dining Room will once again be a site for intimate theatre. The year is 1969.
Ahead of their return to the West-End for a run of Shakespeare’s tragedy ‘Macbeth’, two married actors - infamous for their tumultuous relationship - have invited the cast and crew for a dinner party at their home - Wrest Park.
Text is 95% Shakespeare’s original text with some small creative license taken.
As bottles of wine are emptied, plates cleared, and the script read aloud for the very first time, the line between drunken theatrics and sobering reality begins to fade. Hidden tensions, bitter resentment, and latent desire bubble to the surface as Shakespeare’s story of ambition, corruption, and seduction comes alive, and druidic forces descend upon the dining room and the world of glamour and vice it represents.
🕡 TIMES:
Gates will open at 6:30PM, and guests will enter from the front of the house to be guided through the first floor to the dining room.
Refreshments will be able to be purchased both before and during a twenty minute interval, ready for the play to begin at 7:00PM sharp.
🅿️ PARKING
Parking is available in the Tenants' Carpark from 18:30 - drive past the front of the house and turn right.
▪️AGE: Age guideline is 13+
🎟 TICKETS COST:
▪️General: £18.00 + £1.51 fee
▪️English Heritage Member's Ticket: £15.00 + £1.26 fee
▪️Disabled and Carer: £18.00 + £1.51 fee
