Children’s favourite TV and book characters will be visiting North Tyneside’s town centres, starting next week.
Peter Rabbit, The Gruffalo and Paddington will be making special trips to meet town centre shoppers and enjoy some photo opportunities.
First up will be an appearance from Peter Rabbit on Tuesday 3rd August. He will be at Bedford Street – just outside of the Beacon Shopping Centre, in North Shields.
The Gruffalo will be making his way to Wallsend town centre on Tuesday 10th August. Shoppers can find him near the bandstand, located near the main entrance to the Forum Shopping Centre.
The final visit will see Paddington appearing at Whitley Bay Customer First Centre on Tuesday 17th August.
The popular characters will be appearing on the hour, at intervals, between 10am and 3.30pm.
There is no charge to meet the characters but a short wait may be necessary at busy times.
These events form part of a programme of events and trails organised by North Tyneside Council as part of its commitment to support town centre businesses.
The events are supported by the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
