The Gruffalo's 25th Birthday Trail at Delamere Forest

Enjoy a year-long celebratory trail 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.

The Gruffalo's 25th birthday trail is a big party in the forest! As part of the adventure, families are 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.

The trails boast five large activity panels, two include interactive elements. In addition, visitors will find 15 smaller spotter panels, where they can search for missing party items. Five rubbing stations are also scattered along the trail, adding an artistic touch to the adventure.

For those looking to enhance their experience, an accompanying trail pack is available to buy on-site for just £4. These 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 will captivate Gruffalo fans of all ages, offering a memorable and educational experience amidst the beauty of our fabulous forest. Mark your calendars for 2024, as the Gruffalo's 25th birthday promises to be an adventure you won't want to miss.
