About
The Big One Hundred joins the celebrations at Weald on the Field, Uckfield’s much-loved free family festival. Alongside a lively day of music, food and entertainment, you can experience a little touch of Ashdown Forest magic!
Keep an eye out for the forest’s newest inhabitant, Poppet, as it pops up among the festival fun – bringing nature, storytelling and imagination into the heart of one of Wealden’s biggest community celebrations.
No booking is required – simply come along and enjoy the day.
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.
