About This Event

The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ trail will run at The Children’s Country House at Sudbury in Derby, offering an engaging outdoor experience inspired by Eric Carle's beloved book. Participants will follow the trail and discover aspects of nature's transformation while embodying the iconic character. Admission is required to join this inventive journey through the natural world.

Join us for one of nature's greatest transformations as you become the world's most famous caterpillar from Eric Carle's best-selling book The Very Hungry Caterpillar™.

Wiggle along the trail to spot juicy fruits and tasty snacks before emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Along the way, you'll digest fascinating facts and enjoy games and activities around the stable-yard and gardens at The Children's Country House.

Feast your eyes, feed your mind, and spread your wings with us!
