As summer gives way to autumn, we’re opening the reserve exclusively for grown-ups to enjoy Pensthorpe in a completely different light. Wander through five stunning gardens, discover incredible wildlife, enjoy exclusive keeper talks and activities, tackle our giant Maize Maze and relive your childhood in our award-winning outdoor play areas.

Pensthorpe is bringing all the Big Farm Machinery together for a spectacular weekend for all the family!

Step into our giant maize maze and become a detective as you follow a trail of evidence, eliminate suspects and uncover the truth behind The Great Cornspiracy. Search for clue boards hidden throughout the maze, examine the evidence and decide which of our unlikely suspects could be responsible.

We’re a part of Break Charity’s GoGo Discover trail this year! Come and meet Quercus the giant steppe mammoth sculpture at Pensthorpe.
