Giants at Brighton’s Royal Pavilion from 4 July
A summer maze opens on the Eastern Lawns of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, on 4 July. Inspired by Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Selfish Giant’, a fairy tale about a Giant who doesn’t want to share the garden he loves with children, but learns the error of his ways, the 22m by 22m maze is based on a Roman design and made up of 360 metres of corridors and beautiful hidden garden rooms, evoking the four seasons in the Giant’s Garden.

Sound effects, giant gardening tools, riddles and traditional games will delight adults and children alike as they try to find their way to the centre of the maze.
The attraction costs £4 per person.
