CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES at the Beatrix Potter Exhibition include dressing up to become Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Peter Rabbit and Jeremy Fisher, or sit down and watch the enchanting stories unfold. Drawing, colouring, puzzles, rubbing panels featuring animal tracks and characters from the books, baskets of Beatrix Potters much loved books to look at. All recreating the Victorian world that Beatrix grew up in.

We do ask that children are accompanied by an appropriate adult while in the exhibition area.

Walk in the charming Beatrix Potter Garden and visit Mrs Tiggy Winkle in her house, Jeremy fishing, Mr. Fox and the shed where he lured silly Jemima Puddle Duck to lay her eggs.

‘Even when the thunder growled in the distance and the wind swept up the valley in fitful gusts, oh, it was always beautiful, home sweet home, I knew nothing of trouble then.’
