What is a Sunflower Patch?

Imagine thousands of gorgeous, blooming sunflowers waiting to be snapped by a photo and then enjoyed in a vase at home! A fun day out for the whole family!

The sunflower season is very short, so visit as soon as you can, to make sure you see them in all their glory! The PYO corn maze trail stretches across a whopping five acres and takes approximately one hour to complete, including a fun and challenging game for children. The field of fun provides even more entertainment alongside the PYO activity, with various outdoor activities to get involved in.
