Families can look forward to an extraordinary Easter experience as Julia Donaldson, the renowned creator of The Gruffalo, unveils her latest tale, Gozzle, at Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park. The special event on Easter Monday promises an enchanting mix of books, bunnies, and bear-themed fun.
On April 21, Easter Monday, Donaldson will meet a limited number of families to sign copies of Gozzle, a new picture book illustrated by Sara Ogilvie. The signing will be part of the Farm Park’s “Easter on the Farm” celebrations and offers visitors the chance to get their hands on the book before enjoying a day filled with springtime activities.
Attendees will have the opportunity to take part in a themed Spring Trail featuring Gozzle, where children can hunt for lettered eggs to spell out a word related to the new story. The day will also include craft sessions and lambing events across the park.
