Days out: Blake House Craft Centre, Essex
SEPTEMBER is set to be a busy one for the Blake House Craft Centre near Stebbing as the annual Great Maize Maze opens at night and the British Lawnmower Racing Championships takes place.

Also not to be missed the following weekend, on Saturday September 11, a hog roast and torchlight maze night.
