The Art of Autumn family trail at Westonbirt Arboretum

Mon 8 Sep - Sun 30 Nov

This autumn, bring the whole family to Westonbirt Arboretum and explore our Family Autumn Trail, a hands-on adventure celebrating the season’s spectacular colours, textures, and creativity.

Inspired by our Drawn to Nature trail and the Bedgebury Florilegium exhibition, this trail invites children and grown-ups alike to discover the art of autumn, from leaf peeping and tree dressing to creating your own leaf art.

Pick up your free trail pack from the Welcome Building, including a sketchbook, trail map and crayon. Each trail panel features a fun activity linked to the trees and landscape around you, along with seasonal science facts and drawing prompts to spark curiosity and creativity.

Whether you're exploring autumn textures or sketching your favourite tree, this trail is a perfect way to connect with nature and celebrate the season together. Choose the family trail or the adult trail, both designed to inspire your inner artist and deepen your appreciation of Westonbirt’s living collection.

Suitable for ages 5+.

Trail goes past our newest natural play areas.
