RAINBOW BLOG: FEBRUARY EVENTS!

We kicked off 2026 at Hamleys’ New Year’s Day Parade, sprinkling a little extra magic over the very start of the year.

A truly royal moment followed at the National Year of Reading launch, as Her Majesty the Queen was joined by much-loved comic book favourites Dennis and Gnasher - delighting children and sparking a wave of nostalgia for adults.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Eevee helped launch a three-month pop-up at the Natural History Museum, celebrating Pokémon’s 30th anniversary in unforgettable style.

Our characters then stole the show at London Toy Fair, welcoming guests, posing for photos, and exploring the show floor to spread excitement throughout the venue. The highlight was the character parade, which captivated attendees and drew crowds as it wound through the halls. Smiles, laughter, and flashing cameras followed as a wave joy swept across the show floor.

With February half term just around the corner, we have plenty of exciting events lined up for the month (*events subject to change).
