A Peter Rabbit Secret Garden is coming to the Trafford Centre

Children can join Peter Rabbit and friends for a summer adventure at The Trafford Centre, in a brand-new, captivating indoor family experience launching next week.

Children will be welcomed by the character of Mrs. Rabbit, who needs some help decorating and filling her flower pots.

She explains that the adventurous Peter has run off to Mr. McGregor’s garden and asks if you will go and look for him?

Find Peter Rabbit in a hidden woodland den

Will you be brave enough to sneak through grumpy Mr. McGregor’s garden? If you see him stir, you must be still as a statue – and watch out for that mischievous character, Squirrel Nutkin.

Once you’ve made it through the garden, look for Peter Rabbit in the hidden woodland den, say hello and tell him to hop home, lickety-split!

This enchanting experience includes activities such as flowerpot decorating and seed planting, as well as a Peter Rabbit costume character meet and greet for each family or group, which includes a professional photography opportunity within a charming woodland setting.

Children will receive a special treat, with merchandise and personalised photographs available to purchase at the end. 

Relaxed, inclusive sessions

Relaxed, inclusive sessions will run every Wednesday at 10am and 4.30pm, featuring smaller groups of visitors and quieter music.

“The charming stories of Peter Rabbit are timeless and treasured by all generations, so we’re delighted to be bringing a new indoor summer experience that the whole family will enjoy,” said Zoe Inman, centre director at The Trafford Centre.

The experience has also been designed to comply with current COVID-19 guidelines, with safety measures in place.

“We are thrilled to be partnering once again with The Trafford Centre to bring a new summer experience!” said Thomas Merrington, creative director at Penguin Ventures (part of Penguin Random House Children’s book publishers).

“Families will love exploring this new installation, especially as they’ll get to meet and greet the official Peter Rabbit costume character at the end.”
