Hall Farm – The Wizard Maze History
Pat and Richard Harrison, together with their son John, are the creators of the Wizard Maze. In the early 2000s the family decided to diversify from just farming and saw the potential for a leisure or activity service. They went on to create a small maze in 2002 which has steadily grown, and the rest is 12-acres of maze history.
Why the Wizard Maze?
At the time the maze was in its creation stages the trend was all things magical with the books and films of Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings being very popular. Pat and Richard thought naming the maze The Wizard Maze would be a associated with the current topic, so the Wizard was added to the Maze. In the early years visitors were welcomed by a Wizard, but as time has gone on the meaning of Wizard is more about the experience, that of fantastic. But you never know a Dumbledore might rock-up in the Maze to add a bit of Wizard Magic
In 2021 Pat and Richard retired from the farm and The Wizard Maze business. The farm, The Wizard Maze, catering and the holiday let are now operated by John Harrison and his partner Lucy Dent.
