Snoopy Trail FAQs

The Snoopy Trail is a family-friendly Easter adventure that invites visitors to explore Trentham Gardens while discovering a series of fascinating Snoopy sculptures. Each Snoopy has its own unique design created by different artists. Families can stamp their activity leaflet with badges as they find all 12 sculptures. The trail is suitable for all ages.

The trail runs from 27 March to 4 May, giving you plenty of time to visit during the Easter break and beyond.

You can book online via Trentham’s website, which is the quickest way to enter the gardens, especially during busy holiday periods. Booking at least 48 hours in advance also saves you 15% on standard garden admission, making it the best value option.

Online booking helps reduce queue times and ensures a smooth arrival.

If you prefer, you can also purchase tickets on the day at the Visitor Centre, though queues may be longer during peak times and the advance booking discount will not apply.

There is no extra fee for the trail; standard garden admission applies for non-members.

Trentham members can enter for free by showing their membership card on arrival.

There is also a 20% discount for any beagle, a playful nod to Snoopy’s breed.

Yes, dogs are very welcome at Trentham Gardens, including on the Snoopy Trail. They must remain on a short 2-metre lead, but they’re free to enjoy the adventure alongside you.
