October at Lichfield Maize Maze
Autumn Adventures Await
As the leaves begin to turn and the pumpkins ripen, our family farm is transformed into a celebration of autumn, harvest and family traditions.
Choose your own pumpkins straight from the field where they were grown, explore our spooky (not scary!) maze, visit our much-loved Pumpkin House and enjoy a memorable autumn day out together.
Our Autumn Season opens every weekend throughout October (3rd & 4th, 10th & 11th, 17th & 18th October), then daily from Friday 23rd until Saturday 31st October.

Pick Your Own Pumpkins
There’s nothing quite like choosing your perfect pumpkin straight from the field where it was grown.
Grab a wheelbarrow and set off to explore the pumpkin patch, where you’ll find pumpkins in every shape, size and colour imaginable. With more than 70 different varieties growing on the farm, there’s something for everyone, from tiny little munchkins to giant whoppers that are heavier than most people can carry!
Once you’ve chosen your favourites, simply wheel them back to the gift shop where they’ll be weighed and paid for before you head home.
The Pumpkin House
No visit to Lichfield Maize Maze in October is complete without a visit to our Pumpkin House.
For many families it’s become a yearly tradition and the perfect place to capture those special autumn photographs together. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, don’t forget your camera!
Our Spooky Autumn Maze
Our maze takes on a whole new feel for October.
Both the Main Maze and Mini Maze remain open, with brand-new spooky maze games to complete along the way. Designed to be fun rather than frightening, it’s an autumn adventure the whole family can enjoy together.
Every visitor receives a maze map, activity card and stickers to help complete the challenge.
