About
We are very excited to announce that families will have the chance to meet a very special visitor making a magical appearance this May Half Term…
The Gruffalo will be joining us here, in our deep dark wood on Saturday 24th May and Sunday 25th May.
Our guest will make special appearances at intervals throughout the day across the weekends, creating unforgettable moments for his little fans.
Here's what else to expect…
The train ride will take you into our enchanted wood to spot scenes from familiar fairytales and nursery rhymes.
After the train ride, children can explore the woods to find natural materials to make their very own nature crown in our Craft Lodge – a headdress fit for a King or Queen with leaves, twigs and grasses! And what's a crown without a wand? Each little magician can get crafty to make their own wand to cast spells, to add extra sparkle to their day!
Families can explore the Fairy and Elf Walk, which winds through the enchanted woods where children can spot tiny fairies living happily and in harmony with nature. These magical creatures also tend to our sensory nature corner, ensuring the wellbeing of the wildlife.
For more active adventures, children can let off steam at our adventure playground.
Don't forget to refuel at the Woodland Café which will be offering delicious locally sourced and homemade food throughout the day.
We have everything you need for an unforgettable family day out, filled with enchantment and fun. We can't wait to welcome you for an unforgettable family day out. Booking is required.
