We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ Sculpture Trail

Get ready for an unforgettable family adventure as Tatton Park partners with the creative minds at Wild in Art to bring the beloved children’s story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt to life in a colourful outdoor arts trail.

Summer days out 

Launching just in time for the summer holidays, the magical trail will see Tatton Park’s iconic gardens home to a very special collection of eight bear sculptures, providing a colourful landscape of imagination, discovery, and excitement for families of all ages. Make it a full day out and continue the adventure down to the farm, where there will be two more bear sculptures to find, as well as taking part in the farm’s summer activities which includes the maize maze, storytelling, hatchery fun and taster Tuesdays.

A classic children’s story

Inspired by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury’s classic tale, families are invited to follow in the footsteps of the brave adventurers as they navigate swishy grass, splishy-splashy rivers, and swirling snowstorms—all in search of the elusive bears.

Featuring a series of beautifully painted sculptures designed by artists for Wild in Art, the trail is suitable for children of all ages and encourages outdoor play, storytelling, and a love of nature.

Visitors can find a range of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ merchandise available throughout the summer from Tatton Park’s Gift and Farm Shops. For more information and tickets, visit tattonpark.org.uk/bearhunt
