Take a first look at Norfolk's newest maize maze ahead of its opening at an award-winning farm shop site.

The Goat Shed in Honingham, located just off the A47 between Dereham and Norwich, is owned by husband-and-wife team Sam and Caroline Steggles.

They opened the farm shop in February 2021 and since then it has expanded with a restaurant and, in June 2024, a butchery, bakery and deli counter.

It now employs around 50 people and has won several accolades, including 'Rising Star of the Year' at the Farm Retail Awards 2023.

On Saturday, July 27, the business is expanding again with a goat-shaped maize maze launching at the site.

Geoff Brown, events and projects manager, said: "We are so excited to launch the Goat Shed’s very first main and mini maize maze for the summer.

"We are calling all adventurers to come and navi-goat their way through the mazes, taking the time to find the clues before solving the activity and claiming their prize."

Refreshments are available from both the main Goat Shed Kitchen and the new On The Hoof trailer in the paddock area, serving takeaway hot drinks, snacks, chips and soft serve ice cream.
