Burwash pupils explore nature on Emily Gravett’s Tidy trail at Bateman’s National Trust

The trail, inspired by the beloved children’s book Tidy by award-winning author and illustrator Emily Gravett, explores looking after environment by following Pete the Badger and his woodland friends.

On completing the trail, the school were presented with a selection of Emily Gravett books, including Tidy, Too Much Stuff, and Wolf Won’t Bite, kindly gifted by Macmillan Children's Books.

As part of the collaboration, Tidy author and illustrator Emily Gravett will be visiting Bateman’s on Thursday 21 and Friday 22 August for storytelling and live drawing sessions, followed by the chance to meet Emily in person during book signings.

The Tidy trail is open daily until 31 August from 10am to 4pm and costs £3 with standard admission.

For families looking to combine a love of books with time in nature, Emily Gravett’s Tidy trail offers the perfect summer activity.

Tidy is written and illustrated by award-winning author and illustrator Emily Gravett and published by Two Hoots/Macmillan Children's Books.
