"The game is Pooh Sticks, originally described by Milne in Winnie-the-Pooh, which was published in 1926. It was inspired by the game he and his son, Christopher (Robin), would play on Posingford Bridge in Ashdown Forest."
"To mark the 100th anniversary of the book, a programme of free cultural events is planned for this summer in the forest and throughout the county. Highlights include a series of interactive performances by the Curious Adventurer."
"I joined ranger Beth Morgan to explore the real places inextricably linked to the make-believe world where Christopher Robin once played. The bridge is a short walk from the 16th-century farmhouse known as Cotchford Farm."
The game of Pooh Sticks, created by AA Milne, is played on a bridge in a medieval hunting forest. This location, part of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, hosts events celebrating the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh. Activities include interactive performances and themed walks. The bridge is near Cotchford Farm, where Milne lived, and features whimsical additions like Piglet's house, created by fans. The forest invites visitors to engage with the beloved characters and stories from the book.
