Museum Opening
On December 7th 2019, Pooh Corner opened the worlds first museum dedicated to A.A. Milne and Christopher Milne. Officially opened by the one and only Gyles Brandreth to a small but special crowd including the family who started Pooh Corner over 40 years ago. With over 100 exhibits and some very rare pieces, there isn’t a more complete collection in the UK (in Brandreths own words) of Milneana!
Gyles, an old friend of Christopher Robin Milne said “Christopher would approve” – you can’t get a better recommendation that that!

To help celebrate World Book Day we are sharing this video we made for local schools on the Ashdown Forest about some of the books that would help children get into the world of Winnie the Pooh. We are sure there is something in it for everyone and hope you enjoy it.
