One week left to visit South Farm's Maize Maze

South Farm is a working family farm nestled in the South Downs, just outside Lewes in East Sussex. Every summer, we open seven acres of maize to families looking for a proper day out, good views, a game card to crack, and coffee from local Sussex suppliers.

We close on 6th September. If you've been thinking about it, this is your week.

Open Thursday–Sunday, 10am–5pm. Until 1st September, save 15% - £7.65 per person or £28.90 for a family of four (under 3s free). After that, prices go back to £9 and £34.

Our small campsite sits in a quiet valley on the farm, just ten pitches, right on the South Downs Way, with Lewes, Brighton and the coast all close by. And if you're here in summer, the maize maze is on your doorstep.

A real working farm

South Farm is a working family farm tucked into the Cricketing Bottom valley on the South Downs Way. We farm because we love it - and at certain times of year, we open our gates so you can come and see it for yourself.

From Open Farm Sunday in June, to our summer maize maze, we love sharing the farm with the families and communities around us. Keep an eye on what's coming up and come and find us when we're open.
