Author: Emma DicksonPublished 23rd May 2025

The air will ‘hum’ with ‘hunny’ this summer at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens as the grounds are transformed into a storybook wonderland for the Disney Winnie the Pooh Hunny Hunt trail.

Historic Royal Palaces, the charity responsible for Hillsborough Castle, has teamed up with Disney to create a memorable experience for the whole family to enjoy.

From 28th June to 31st August, Hillsborough Castle’s 100 acres of gardens will be inspired by the stories from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Little explorers and lifelong fans alike can set off on a delightful ‘expotition’ to track down ten hidden ‘hunny’ pots tucked away in the lush greenery of the Castle gardens, because in classic Pooh Bear style, he’s forgotten where they all are and needs help to find them!

From dabbling in a game of Poohsticks by the water, collecting a unique sticker and feasting on inspired snacks from the Café, families and Winnie the Pooh fans alike can discover special spots along the way, including:

🍯 Piglet’s Cosy Burrow – A warm and welcoming nook for the littlest explorers.

🍯 Eeyore’s Quiet Cabin – Rest in a peaceful corner among the trees to soak up the scenery.

🍯 Christopher Robin’s Thinking Spot – The perfect place to sit, ponder, and dream up the next adventure.

🍯 Owl’s Book Corner – Listen to daily storytelling sessions of fan-favourite Winnie the Pooh tales.

🍯 Rabbit's Garden – Explore a wooden vegetable patch for curious green thumbs.

After the trail, collect a unique Winnie the Pooh sticker as a keepsake of the adventure and visit the gift shop to purchase your very own Pooh Bear to take home, along with the opportunity to enjoy a selection of inspired snacks from the onsite Tea Room.
