The much-loved picture book and award-winning animation is brought to life through a series of interactive installations. Follow in the characters’ footsteps to brave the elements. Roam through swishy swashy grass, conquer thick oozy mud, brave swirling whirling snowstorms, and tiptoe through a cave in search of the bear.

You can’t go over it. You can’t go under it. You’ve got to go through it! Fantastic fun for all ages, round up your friends and family and see who will be the first one to spot the bear.

Deep in the Surrey Hills, near Godalming, the tree-lined paths at Winkworth Arboretum form the perfect setting for this family trail. Find a woodland adventure playground and new café and visitor centre to enjoy on your visit.

The National Trust is working in collaboration with Walker Productions and Lupus Films, the production team behind the stunning animation based on the best-selling children’s book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, published by Walker Books.

Over the last 30 years, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt has enchanted children and parents alike with its story of perseverance, optimism and a love of nature, selling over 14 million books worldwide in 42 languages. Author Michael Rosen’s retelling of this classic picture book has had over 20 million views on YouTube.
