Wistow Maze celebrates 70 years of the NHS

Find out what the Leicestershire attraction has done to celebrate the anniversary of the NHS.

Wistow Maze has been designed in the shape of an ambulance for 2018 to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the NHS. 

The giant eight acre maize maze has three miles of pathways and stunning views of the Leicestershire countryside. 

Diana Brooks, the owner of Wistow Maze said: “It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of one of the nation’s most loved institutions, and to show our appreciation for the many heroes in the health and emergency services”

Wistow Maze is a winner of Leicestershire’s “Best Visitor Attraction” and attracts over 20,000 visitors each year.

The owners of the maze say they need lots of rain to help the maize and sunflower crop to grow now. Diana said: "Never in 14 years have I had to worry about too much sunshine."
