This year marks the centenary of Winnie-the-Pooh, and Ashdown Forest – the real-life inspiration for A.A. Milne’s Hundred Aker Wood. To mark this special milestone, Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club will be inviting guests to step into the world of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and friends while enjoying the hotel’s refined country charm.
Guests can enjoy the woodland-themed feast of the Hunny Pot Afternoon Tea of honey-laced cakes, choux, and picnic sandwiches. From classic scones to playful “Woozle Cheese & Ham Bake,” this is a honey-sweet indulgence for all ages. Then afterwards, explore Ashdown Park’s new garden trail, the Hundred Aker Trail and meander through landscapes inspired by Pooh and friends.
One of the biggest events is an evening with Gyles Brandreth: Celebrating 100 Years of Winnie-the-Pooh on 17th October, with tickets still available to book at www.ashdownpark.com
Set within 186 acres of landscaped parkland and forest, Ashdown Park Hotel & Country Club is perfectly placed for exploring the woodland that inspired Milne’s stories. Celebrating the bear’s enduring legacy – all from the comfort of one of Sussex’s most charming country hotels. www.ashdownpark.com
