🌻 **IMPORTANT UPDATE – SUNFLOWER MAZE CLOSED** 🌻

Following yesterday’s weather, our sunflower maze has unfortunately been flattened and the conditions now pose a health and safety risk to visitors.

We have carefully considered whether we could remain open just for sunflower picking, but sadly the field is not safe for this either. Therefore, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close the sunflower maze to the public from today onwards.

This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly, but the safety of our visitors and team has to come first. πŸ’›

A huge thank you to everyone who has visited, supported us, shared our posts and enjoyed the sunflowers with us this season. It’s been absolutely lovely welcoming so many of you, and we’re so grateful for all your support. 🌻

We’re already looking ahead to next year… and hopefully with a little less dramatic weather! πŸŒ¦οΈπŸ˜‚

Thank you from all of us at the Bignor team.πŸ’›πŸŒ»
