The Gruffalo: Who Lives in the Deep Dark Wood
A Free Nature Activity inspired by The Gruffalo story by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
“A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood…”
Step into the world of Mouse and enjoy a magical adventure through the Deep Dark Wood where every week the activity changes to focus on the habitat of the Fox, the Owl or the Snake. Experiencing interactive storytelling, nature activities and songs, you can learn all about the different animals – including the creatures that live with us in Islington.
You never know, you might encounter a gruffalo on the way!
A 25 minute enchanting outdoor participatory storytelling adventure for under 5s and their families. Created by Tall Stories and Bright Start Islington, this special experience coincides with 25 years of The Gruffalo Live on Stage, bringing the magic of the Deep Dark Wood to your local outdoor stay and play.
