☀️ THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING ALONG TO OUR FUN DAY! ☀️

We hope you all had fun! It was such a busy and successful day. We greatly appreciate all of your support 🫶🏽

Peppa Pig and Chase gave out many high fives and survived the heat (just!), we saw many of you having a shot in the Police Car with PC Ryan and Dean 🚓 and trying to wipe each other out with a Wrecking Ball (we even thought we saw Miley Cyrus swinging on it at one point…). Luckily the ice cream van was there to keep us all cool!
Inside we saw so many of you taking part in Kids Yoga and Alison’s fab Bookbug sessions.

We hope you had fun and as always with our events, we would welcome your feedback, good or bad 🎈
