maize maze & pick your own sunflowers
Welcome to Maidenhead
Some Sunflowers are showing, some are still growing!
The Copas family farm, in Cookham, near Maidenhead. This year we are raising money in aid of Great Ormond St to bring you Peter Pan’s Neverland. “Fly” into Neverland, catch up with the Lost Boys, watch out for the ticking croc and try and make sure Captian Hook does not capture you otherwise you will be walking the plank!
We have a good few acres of PYO with sunflowers, highly photogenic wild flowers, as well as crafts to make, ice cream to eat and food to enjoy.
Opening Dates & Times:
Parking is free but we are fundraising in aid of Great Ormond St so you are most welcome to leave your change with us to count and give to this amazing charity!
