Families can explore the magical world of the Gruffalo at Bluewater this summer.

Split into five zones, the Gruffalo Experience aims to captivate the imagination of children with the ultimate learning experience.

The interactive adventure through Julia Donaldson’s much-loved children’s book uses puppets, lighting, sounds and smells to bring the creatures from the Little Brown Mouse’s journey off the page and to life before their eyes.

Bluewater boss Robert Goodman said: “The Gruffalo is a story that captures the hearts and minds of young and old and we hope to welcome little mice of all ages to take a stroll through Bluewater’s deep dark wood.

“It’s a fantastic family experience and provides a great alternative for the summer holidays.”
