We're Going on a Bear Hunt comes to The Vyne

The much-loved picture book and award-winning animation will be brought to life in the grounds of The Vyne through a series of interactive installations, emulating the journey undertaken by the family at the heart of the story.

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!

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 more than 14 million books worldwide in 42 languages. Author Michael Rosen’s retelling of this classic picture book has exceeded 20 million views on YouTube.

Fantastic fun for all ages, round up your friends and family and see who will be the first one to spot the bear.
