The Wilton Storybook Walk returns to High Mowing School on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10 a.m. to noon. This free fall event welcomes families to the school’s Pine Hill Campus at 77 Pine Hill Drive. No RSVP is needed, so families can plan a visit without completing a sign-up form.
The school’s early childhood teachers designed the walk especially for children ages 8 and younger. Along a wooded path, visitors will find small scenes featuring fairies, gnomes, animals, jugglers, and gentle storybook characters. Children can hear stories, try small activities, and collect little treasures along the way.

Plan for a woodland morning
First, use the Pine Hill Drive address when planning your route. The event page names the Pine Hill Campus as the meeting place. That detail matters when looking up directions to a school with more than one campus.
Next, choose comfortable shoes for the forest path and clothing that works for the weather. If your child plans to wear a costume, consider how easily they can walk in it outdoors. A light layer may also be useful on an October morning.
Before leaving home, check High Mowing’s official Storybook Walk page for weather updates or changes. The school lists October 18 as the rain date. Check its latest notice rather than assuming the Saturday plan will stay the same in wet weather.
A local outing for young families
For households looking for a short weekend activity, the two-hour event offers a chance to enjoy stories and outdoor play together. Also, the lack of an RSVP requirement makes planning straightforward. Families with questions about the path or their child’s needs can contact the school before visiting.
