August

  • Saturday 23 August – Gruffalo Walk – Charnwood Water, Loughborough

    Date: Saturday 23 August
    Time: 10:00am – 11:30am
    Venue: Charnwood Water Car Park, Tuckers Road, Loughborough, LE11 2PL

    Details of Event:
    Join us for a family fun Gruffalo-themed walk at Charnwood Water! 🌳

    We’re inviting families to a magical outdoor adventure inspired by The Gruffalo! The fun begins with story time in the forest, where we’ll enjoy the tale together before families can set off on a themed walk around Charnwood Water (at their own pace).

    🚶‍♀️ The route is just under 1 mile. Little legs can do one lap (the walk is also pairly pushchair friendly for tiny legs), while those up for more of a challenge are welcome to complete two or even three circuits!

    🦉 Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for Gruffalo-themed characters hidden in the trees. Collect stamps from each one you find, then head to our Gruffalo Station at the end to claim your certificate and badge!

    🫧 We’ll finish the event with a bubble party – we’ll bring the bubbles, but feel free to bring your own too!

    💜 This special event is the idea of 6-year-old Alfie, son of Miss Adele at AMC. Alfie wanted to create something that would make families smile and enjoy time together outdoors – and we think he’s done just that! 🥰

    ✨ The event is free to join, but we’d love for you to either get sponsored or make a donation to Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People via our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/gruffalowalk

    🎟️ To help us plan badges and manage photo permissions for children, please register all children here (no payment required)

    This is a community event and everyone is welcome – you don’t need to be an AMC member to take part. So gather the family and come enjoy some fresh air, storytelling, and Gruffalo magic with us!
