The Big One Hundred: Sheffield Park

Sheffield Park and Garden

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sheffield Park and Garden, this special Explorer Day invites families to step into a world of creativity and nature. Wander through this popular National Trust site while enjoying a spectacular giant puppet performance, outdoor activities and hands-on experiences inspired by Ashdown Forest and its wildlife. Young explorers can collect Explorer Badges through crafts and games, while keeping watch for the forest’s new mysterious creature, Poppet, hidden among the gardens. Tickets for this event are included within standard admission to Sheffield Park and Garden - turn up at the door to buy your ticket. Join us for The Big One Hundred: a brand-new programme inspired by the landscapes and wildlife of Ashdown Forest – the original Hundred Acre Wood – to celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh. Created in partnership with Ashdown Forest and award-winning creatives Trigger, this imaginative programme features a series of exciting events introducing a new curious creature, Poppet. Inspired by the colours and textures of the forest, Poppet will be brought to life by an incredible team of ten puppeteers during special Explorer Days throughout the summer. Alongside encounters with Poppet, you can enjoy a range of activities and workshops centred around the forest’s unique environment and wildlife. Blending nature with storytelling and performance, The Big One Hundred promises a truly spectacular experience as it tours across Wealden this year.
