🌽How exciting! Nash Court Maize Maze is preparing to open up again this year! 🌽

❓What will the maize design be? Can you guess❓

Hi Everyone
Thank you to everyone who has contacted us to ask when Nash Court Maize Maze 2024 will be open 🎉

We are very excited to have a fantastic NEW Maize Maze design planted, unfortunately due the very wet winter and spring 🌧️ we had to plant later this year 🚜!!

With the lack of sunshine 🌥️ it has taken longer to grow, but it is well established now and the new tracks are looking great.

With the sun now shining it ☀️ won’t be long until it will be ready for you all to enjoy!!!

We have new clues 🔎 for you to find and will again have the barn available with lovely refreshments and icecreams! 🍦

So keep following our page for updates and the BIG REVEAL of the 2024 design .. wonder what it will be???? Any ideas?? 🤔🚜🌽👨‍🌾

🐉 It will be lovely to see the Y Ddraig Coch (The Red Dragon) back sleeping on the island in Presteigne 🐉

A SLEEPING dragon will be awoken from its slumber and make a permanent return to a part of Powys where it became a beloved icon at the end of April.
