Gruffalo Olympic fun for all the family at Grizedale & Whinlatter Forests!

Forestry England’s Whinlatter and Grizedale forests are gearing up to ignite Olympic-sized excitement in the nation’s forests this summer with a fantastic addition to their beloved Gruffalo 25th birthday trails. Alongside the brilliant family trail, visitors will be able to take part in an extra dose of fun as they embark on a quest to find hidden Gruffalo character signs and enjoy Olympic-inspired challenges.

Families and forest explorers alike are invited to immerse themselves in the thrill of the hunt by finding the signs and then attempting some sporty challenges that promise to test their skills and agility.

Adding a delightful twist to the adventure, players must keep their eyes peeled for scattered letters along the way. These letters hold the key to decoding an Olympic-themed word.

This free Gruffalo activity will be available at Whinlatter and Grizedale forests from 23 July 2024, promising a summer filled with unforgettable forest adventures. There will also be a chance to meet the legendary Gruffalo himself at Whinlatter on 8 August, adding an extra sprinkle of magic to the experience.
