🌳 A FREE MAZE & GARDEN CENTRE TO VISIT- 💥AN IDEA FOR A DAY OUT BY WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE
Sunday 20 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!
☕️ 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.

▪️Sunday: 10.30 - 4.30

At the end of the hunt you’ll be rewarded with some Easter goodies including am Easter themed dog toy, dog friendly Easter egg and money off vouchers. Plus, have your perfect paw-trait photo taken with your dog!
🗓 2025 EVENT DATES

🐾 Money off vouchers for our pet department
🐕 What is a sniff-ari? We caught up with Dog's Trust to learn all about it
In a nutshell, a sniff-ari is a walk where your dog is permitted – and encouraged – to explore his environment with his nose. It’s an on-lead exploration
You let your dog set the pace and the direction. We encourage you to allow them to explore their environment and what interests them. We’ve then dropped our Easter Eggs along the way to keep the humans entertained!
Benefits of a sniff-ari
- ✨️ Helps a dog decompress
- ✨️ Helps them make their own decisions
- ✨️ Helps relieve boredom
- ✨️ Builds confidence
- ✨️ Uses their natural abilities to make sense of their world through scent
- ✨️ Leads to a more optimistic and content dog
- ✨️ Helps them be calmer and tires them out
- And last, but certainly not least, dogs love the walk!
💖 Pup-fection!

🐑 Watergate Farm Lambing Season 2025 - Hockliffe
Sunday 20 April 2025
Time: 10:30 - 16:00
🐑 The farm will be open again during the peak Lambing Season during the Easter period.
Visitors can hold the lambs and see a modern sheep farm at work. With over 2000 sheep to give birth, it is a great chance to see lambs being born, taking their first few steps and suckling their mothers for the first time.
👨👩👧👧 What is there to do at the farm?
There is something for everyone, from pony & tractor rides to wool spinning, painting, bouncy castle, lamb cuddles, face painting or just watching the ewes and lambs. Wellies might have to be worn as it can get quite muddy.
🚜 Tractor Ride: £1 (cash only)
🐴 Pony Rides: £2 (cash only)

✨️ Can I hold a lamb?
We can ensure everyone gets the chance to hold a lamb, unless you are pregnant in which it is not recommended.
✨️ Will I see a lamb being born?
During April we have over 500 ewes to lamb so it is very likely that you may witness one being born during the day.
✨️ Can I book to feed a lamb?
We don’t advertise feeding times as there are not enough lambs for everyone to feed, but if your lucky you may be in the right place at the right time!
🌭 Can I buy food and drink?
We sell hot & cold drinks and homemade cakes. The BBQ has locally sourced burgers and sausages. Cash only is required to purchase.
♿️ Is the site wheelchair friendly?
We offer disabled parking and most the site is concreted. It is easy to get around the lambing shed and see the attractions.
