The Gruffalo, Westonbirt Arboretum

The Gruffalo, Westonbirt Arboretum is a unique attraction that brings the characters of Julia Donaldson's classic tale into the real forest. Handcrafted sculptures of characters from the book are strategically placed deep within the dark forest, creating an immersive experience.

The Gruffalo themed path encourages children to explore the forest, learn about nature and develop map reading skills. The sculptures blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings, transforming Axel Scheffler's illustrations into the physical creatures that inhabit the forest.

This is the perfect activity for families, combining educational value with fun and interactive elements.
