The Big One Hundred

The next chapter for Ashdown Forest

As Winnie-the-Pooh turns one hundred in 2026, Ashdown Forest, the original Hundred Acre Wood, celebrates with a brand-new story!

Coming this summer, The Big One Hundred, created and produced by Trigger, brings together performances, events and workshops to help protect Ashdown Forest for the next hundred years. We’ll be introducing a new character to the Forest, a curious creature inspired by the landscape and special species who live there. Our new creature will also be popping up at sites across Wealden to delight and inspire children to see the magic in nature and the joy of reading.
