Peter Rabbit

"2016 marked 150 years since the birth of one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors Beatrix Potter."

"Sadly at the beginning of 2017 Peter Rabbit was set alight by an arsonist. The support from the local community was incredible and within a matter of days we had received hundreds of messages, emails and letters of support from all over the country. With the help of volunteers and donations Peter was rebuilt in Spring 2017 and still stands tall in the Snugburys field along side the A51."

"Peter Rabbit has helped raise money for The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust. The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust are a Cheshire based charity, who provide a variety of programs for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children from all over the North West."

"A FEW FACTS ABOUT STRAW PETER..

In total around 1,000 man hours were spent creating the original feature.

The metal frame was fabricated by the talented team at Harbrook and a team of 10 ‘Snugburys stuffers’ worked on Peter’s fur and jacket.

The inspiration for the blue jacket came from recycling the blue bags our packaging arrives in. We hand wove a thin layer of blue bags over the straw and we are really pleased with the outcome (With special thanks to Parkers Packaging for supplying the extra bags required!)

The whole structure weighs in at an impressive 8 tonne.

Peter stands at 38 ft tall. With his 10 ft carrot and 10 ft ears!"

PS We were taken here for a treat by our friends Paul and Julie - Dennis is still talking about his ginger ice cream.
