The World of Peter Rabbit™ Storytime Trail

The Beaney

The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. (now part of Penguin Random House UK) in 1902. In celebration of the anniversary of this classic little book, and over 120 years of mischief, Frederick Warne & Co. are delighted to present “The World of Peter Rabbit™ Storytime Trail”. Hop into this walkthrough experience, where visitors will be able to immerse themselves in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Little bunnies will be able to crawl under the garden gate, hide in a watering can, and see their reflection in a mirror pool, just like Peter Rabbit! With photo opportunities and activities to take part in along the way, there are plenty of opportunities for families to enjoy this well-loved tale. Saturday 18 February 2023 to Sunday 16th April 2023 (Closed Mondays) £3 Suggested Donation. Special Exhibitions Gallery, First Floor, The Beaney. Find out more HERE
