Gruffalo's Child Woodland Trail Launch: Friday 29th march until Monday 1st April

The Gruffalo delighted audiences by opening the brand new Gruffalo's Child woodland trail.
Following the success of the Gruffalo woodland trail, our talented onsite chainsaw carvers have created a magical trail based on the 'Gruffalo's Child'. Written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, the book has been read to millions of children across the globe. Visitors enjoyed craft activities, storytelling, film screenings and the Gruffalo childrens menu.

Dont fret if you missed the Gruffalo's visit, he will be back on the 26th and 27th October 2013.Read More on this story
