Join the Gruffalo's Birthday Bash!
Starting on January 24th, head to Beechenhurst in the enchanting Forest of Dean and follow the Gruffalo's 25th birthday trail. This isn't just any walk in the woods; it's a treasure hunt, a playground, and a learning experience all rolled into one.
A Trail Full of Fun and Learning:
- Help the Gruffalo find his missing party supplies: Keep your eyes peeled for hidden clues and decorations. Teamwork makes the dream work, so get the whole family involved!
- Discover the secrets of the forest: Learn about the amazing ways plants and animals care for each other as you explore the trail.
- Get creative and have fun: Play games, complete activities, and even get artistic with rubbing stations scattered along the path.
The Adventure Doesn't Stop There:
The Gruffalo's birthday bash isn't limited to Beechenhurst! This fantastic trail is popping up at 26 Forestry England sites across the country, so no matter where you live, you can join the fun.
- Make it a memorable outing: Enhance your experience with a special Gruffalo trail pack. For just £4, you'll get a festive party headband, an activity booklet, stickers, crayons, and even a Gruffalo sew-on patch to take home as a souvenir.
Celebrating a Beloved Story:
The Gruffalo has captured the hearts of children and adults alike for 25 years. This delightful tale teaches valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and outsmarting bullies (even if they have knobbly knees and terrible tusks!).
