Yesterday (Wednesday 26th August) was International Dogs Day, so we are doing a...

Spotlight on...International Dog Day

Do you know about Rip the dog? Or to give him his full title - Master Rip Bowles!

Rip lived at Forty Hall in the early 1900's and was family pet to the Bowles family.

Rip has now taken on the role of Forty Hall mascot, and frontlines a few trails which are designed to engage children with the house and grounds at Forty Hall.

The cartoon version of Rip also has his own children's storybook - written for us by Blossom Carrasco. ‘I’m Not Scared’ is set in beautiful Forty Hall, with it’s a lively story written in rhyme about Rip the dog and a band of naughty ladybirds!

'I'm Not Scared' is available to buy in the Forty Hall Gift Shop, or on the webshop - https://forty-hall-estate-gift-shop.myshopify.com/ along with a Rip the dog colouring book, a magnetic bookmark, frisbee and a cute pin badge!
