Disney Winnie the Pooh Hunny Hunt

Embark on an adventure at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens

Oh bother! Winnie the Pooh's cupboards are quite empty, can you help him find his missing hunny? There are 10 hidden 'hunny' pots around the gardens of Hillsborough Castle, and he needs clever, kind adventurers (that's you!) to help find them.

Explore the story of Winnie the Pooh

Step into the hunny trail (which is really Hillsborough's own 100-acre garden, but don't tell Rabbit, because he's very particular about names) and set off on a Great Hunny Hunt! Along the way, you might find Rabbit's Garden, Christopher Robin's Thinking Spot, Eeyore's Quiet Cabin, and Piglet's Cosy Burrow, all inspired by Disney Winnie the Pooh.

When your paws are tired, Owl's Book Corner is the perfect place to rest and listen to your favourite Winnie the Pooh tales - because sometimes, the best kind of adventure is the one you hear while sitting down. And before you finish, be sure to play a game of Poohsticks, because what's an 'Expotition' without a little fun?

At the end of the trail collect your very own Winnie the Pooh sticker.

So pack your Big Boots and your biggest sense of adventure, with kids going free to the gardens all summer. Tickets on sale soon.
