Winnie-the-Pooh Book Trail

Across Skipton Town Centre
Children of all ages and their families | FREE

HELP! Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends have wandered too far from the Hundred Acre Wood and have got lost in Skipton! Can YOU help find them?

Keep your eyes peeled for Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and friends around Skipton. If you find them all and answer their questions correctly, we can bring them home!

Collect your instructions, map and entry form from Skipton Library, Skipton Town Hall, Craven Court or download them from wordupnorth.org.uk

All correct completed entries returned to us will be entered into a draw to win some beary bookish prizes! (Note: The prize draw is open to children under 12 only).

This event is part of Story Explorer Day (Sun 1st March 2026)
A fun-filled day-long celebration of stories and books for families with children under 11 years.
Produced by Word Up North, Skipton Town Hall, Skipton Library and North Yorkshire Council. Presented in partnership with Bradford Grammar School. Supported by Arts Council England.
