Forestry England’s Haldon Forest Park is thrilled to announce a celebratory trail launching on 26 January, to mark the 25th anniversary of the award-winning picture book, “The Gruffalo”.
Since 2014, the collaboration between Magic Light Pictures and Forestry England has enchanted families in England, immersing them in the magical world of the Gruffalo within the nation’s deep dark woods.
To mark this remarkable milestone, Haldon Forest Park is inviting families from across England to join in the festivities and celebrate the Gruffalo’s 25th birthday on an exciting new trail experience.
The Gruffalo’s 25th birthday trail is going to be a big party in the forest! As part of the adventure, families will be encouraged to work together to search for missing party items whilst enjoying fun and games along the trail. Participants will also learn about the intricate ways plants and animals look after each other.
For those looking to enhance their experience, an accompanying trail pack will be available to buy on-site at the Info Pod for just £4. These will include a festive party headband to get you into the party spirit, an activity leaflet for curious minds, stickers, pencils and crayons to get creative, and a woven Gruffalo sew-on patch as a cherished keepsake.
This fantastic celebratory trail is set to captivate Gruffalo fans of all ages, offering a memorable and educational experience amidst the beauty of the fabulous forest. Mark your calendars for 24 January, as the Gruffalo’s 25th birthday promises to be an adventure you won’t want to miss.
