MARWELL Zoo will welcome three CBeebies favourites over the summer with special Thursday Fun Days.

Bluey and her little sister Bingo, from the children’s TV show Bluey, will be visiting the zoo on July 27, August 10 and August 24.

Meanwhile, the titular star of Hey Duggie is taking a break from running the Squirrel Club to visit Marwell on August 3 and August 17.

Visitors will be able to join the playful characters for story time sessions at intervals throughout the day. The characters will have a dedicated appearance area on the back lawn of Marwell Hall to ensure as many guests as possible can see them on a first-come-first-served basis.

Nicky Cole, senior events manager, said: “We couldn’t be more excited about welcoming Bluey, Bingo and Hey Duggee for our Thursday Fun Days over the summer holidays! We just know you and your little ones are going to love seeing your favourite TV stars and joining in all the fun at the zoo with us.”

Tickets for the Thursday Fun Days will go on sale on Monday, July 10.
