The Patch MK will once again throw open their farm gates for an epic summer of fun.
The Flowers Fields at The Patch MK
The Patch MK grow speciality sunflowers and wildflowers across over 50 acres on the family farm.
The flower fields are no ordinary pick your own, with over 500,000 sunflowers and 50 million wildflowers, the fields are a stunning spectacle to behold and offer visitors endless choice when creating their bouquets to take home with them.
The Patch MK this year are planting 21 different varieties of Sunflowers and over 200 different varieties of wildflowers.
Situated throughout the flower fields are multiple different unique photo opportunities, designed and created by The Patch MK, working alongside local craftsmen and women. Ideal for those trying to capture the perfect Instagram shot, or that precious family moment. There is something for everyone, from the giant heart hand crafted by a local blacksmith to the vintage tractor, shining in the field of wheat. New for this summer is a giant photo frame, large enough for families to stand inside and capture those all important memories.
The Fun Fields at The Patch MK
Alongside the Flower Fields are the Fun Fields, home to three individual maize mazes.
- The Labyrinth of Illusions, The UK’s largest living optical illusion – which features over 37 individual optical illusions! Ranging from a Vortex tunnel to a replica of Charlie and the Chocholate factory’s famous shrinking room, to an anti-gravity room, a giant pin art board and more!
