Stick Man Trail at Wyre Forest (With Stick Man meet & greet!)
Stick Man Comes to Life at Wyre Forest on 13 August 2025!
Families looking for magical outdoor adventures this summer won’t want to miss this special day in the heart of Wyre Forest! On Wednesday 13 August 2025, Stick Man, from the much-loved book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, will be making special appearances throughout the day.
This free event promises a fun-filled day out for children and their grown-ups, combining storytelling, play and the great outdoors. Little ones can meet Stick Man in person (perfect for a family photo!), and enjoy a themed trail, stick games and crafts inspired by the story.
No booking needed; just turn up and join the fun! Meet-and-greet sessions will be first-come, first-served, spaced throughout the day, with a quiet session available to pre-book.
Appearance times are as follows:
11am to 11.40am
12pm to 12.40pm
1.30pm to 2.10pm
2.30pm to 3.10pm
3.30pm to 4.00pm. The 3.30pm session is the SEN session, designed to be quieter with less queues. This session will be for pre-booked visitors only, with limited spaces available. To book, please email us.
This event complements the year-round Stick Man trail at Wyre Forest, running until January 2026. Families can follow Stick Man’s journey home while learning about forest wildlife, with the option to enhance the experience by purchasing a £4 activity pack* that includes materials to make your own Stick Man and an adventure passport to collect stamps along the trail.
