Gruffalo Party Trail at Haldon Forest Park

The Gruffalo is turning 25! To celebrate, everyone is invited to take part in a brand-new forest adventure, available  until 5 January 2025.

What to expect

The interactive family trail features all sorts of party-themed activities and games, along with fun facts to teach you about life in the forest for the Gruffalo and other creatures.

Follow the trail around Haldon Forest Park to help find the missing party items to give the Gruffalo a birthday to remember. Search for balloons, pine cones, apples and the Gruffalo himself, and complete fun activities and rubbings as you go along.
