Follow The Very Hungry Caterpillar trail around Sudbury's Children's Country House this autumn.

Head out into the museum, hall and garden at The Children's Country House at Sudbury and follow a trail inspired by Eric Carle's much-loved book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It's a chance to explore the grounds while spotting the caterpillar's story unfold along the way, running daily from 2 October to 2 November 2026, 10am to 4pm. Entry to the site includes admission to Sudbury Hall, Museum and Garden, with child tickets from £11.00 and adult tickets at £22.00 without Gift Aid (Gift Aid pricing is also available, and entry is free for National Trust members). There's a café on site for snacks and drinks, plus a second-hand bookshop and plenty of space for a picnic in the grounds if you want to make a day of it.
