The World of Beatrix Potter
The World of Beatrix Potter is an interactive family attraction in Bowness-on-Windermere that brings the beloved stories of Beatrix Potter to life. Set indoors and fully accessible, the exhibition recreates the scenes and characters from her books with detailed 3D displays, sound effects, and garden areas that mirror the Lake District settings of her stories.
Enjoy interactive elements that tell the story of her importance to the Lake District.
Visitors can wander through immersive recreations of Mr. McGregor’s garden, Jemima Puddle-Duck’s woodland glade, and Peter Rabbit’s burrow. There’s a short film introducing Beatrix Potter’s life and legacy, and exhibits that explore her work as an author, illustrator, and conservationist.
The attraction is open year-round and is fully wheelchair accessible. A popular on-site café serves locally sourced meals and themed treats, and the shop offers books, gifts, and exclusive merchandise. Centrally located in Bowness, it is easy to reach by public transport and just a short walk from the lakefront.
This is an ideal stop for families with young children, fans of Beatrix Potter, or anyone looking to explore the charm and creativity of her world in a hands-on and memorable way.
