Global Gruffalo project: See where the creatures have travelled so far
Twenty Gruffalo toys were sent on a global journey by the beloved children’s author Julia Donaldson CBE to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Gruffalo book.
The toys are part of the Global Gruffalo project, created as part of the Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 to celebrate the project’s patron Julia Donaldson CBE.

They set out on their journeys at the beginning of January, and in the short space of a month the creatures have already travelled far and wide.
The sponsored Gruffalos have travelled as far as Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Italy, America and the Caribbean Islands. The Gruffalos have climbed the shard and visited St James’ Park
The Gruffalo sponsors have been equally busy recording their Gruffalos along their journeys which can be seen on the official Global Gruffalo website www.globalgruffalo.co.uk

Two key dates to look out for coming up are World Book Day on March 7 when the Gruffalos will be out in force promoting all things bookish.
March 23 is the Gruffalo’s actual birthday when the world famous book turns 20 years old.
