About

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 performances, 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 mysterious creature hidden among the gardens.

Tickets for this event are included within standard admission to Sheffield Park and Garden.


Join us for The Big One Hundred: a brand-new programme inspired by the landscapes and wildlife of Ashdown Forest, to celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh. Created in partnership with Ashdown Forest and award-winning creatives Trigger, the programme combines nature with storytelling and performance through a series of exciting events taking place across Wealden throughout the summer.
