BEAUTIFUL sculptures inspired by characters from the The Very Hungry Caterpillar book will be appearing in the town centre for Febraury half-term.

The Lexicon is hosting a trail based on Eric Carle’s best-selling children’s book where children can follow the journey of the caterpillar from egg to butterfly.

Visitors will wind their way through an assortment of larger-than-life fruit sculptures, a cosy chrysalis and a beautiful butterfly, all based on artwork from the famous book.

The interactive mini adventure, which runs from Saturday, February 11 to February 19, will help to teach children about the close relationship between plants and insects as they search for items such as apples and pears to complete the trail.

Cllr Marc Brunel-Walker, executive member for economic development and regeneration at Bracknell Forest Council said: “I can’t wait to see The Very Hungry Caterpillar in the town centre. Times are tough at the moment, so it’s great to see The Lexicon put on another fantastic free family activity for the school holidays.”

Fenwick and Waterstones will be hosting free story telling on Tuesday, February 14 and Friday, February 17.

Places must be booked in advance on The Lexicon website.
