Forestry England invites families to step into a magical forest adventure with the brand-new Room on the Broom Trail, launching January 2026.

Bringing Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much loved story to life, this enchanting trail offers a spellbinding experience for families to enjoy throughout 2026. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the beloved book, the trail is packed with activities, fascinating forest facts, and plenty of hands-on fun. It’s the perfect way for families to explore the great outdoors.

From 27 January 2026, visitors can join Witch and her friends on a spellbinding journey through the forest. Along the way, children will help Witch find her lost hat, bow and wand, and collect magical ingredients to complete her spell. Each stop on the trail is packed with fun activities, fascinating nature facts, and a sprinkle of woodland magic, perfect for young explorers and families looking for an unforgettable day out.

Josephine Lavelle, Forestry England National Marketing and Membership Manager said:

 “We’re thrilled to bring the magic of Room on the Broom to our forests. This trail is a wonderful way for families to connect with nature, enjoy a beloved story, and create unforgettable memories together. With fun activities and enchanting surprises along the way, it’s the perfect adventure for young explorers.”

To make the adventure even more special, families can pick up a Room on the Broom trail pack for just £4. Each pack includes a themed lanyard, magic spell cards, stickers, a pencil, and a pop-out craft to create your very own witchy wand.

Room on the Broom trails will be available at selected Forestry England sites nationwide, including Staffordshire's Cannock Chase Forest, Shropshire's Haughmond Hill and Worcestershire's Wyre Forest. For more details, visit forestryengland.uk/room-on-the-broom.
