Character Meet & Greets in November 2026: Pingu, The Grinch, The Snowman, Gabbys Dollhouse & More | Rainbow Productions

As we head into November and start to count down the days to bonfire night and, dare I say… Christmas, we have some exciting events lined up for you this month. But first, let's take a look back at what October had in store.

The Gruffalo had a busy month following the release of The Gruffalo granny, heading to lots of events bringing smiles to visitors faces.

We had lots of characters join us at Brand Licensing Europe, adding a bit of magic to the show floor and exciting guests.

Peppa Pig joined in a world record attempt in Florida when 184 people dressed as witches climbed aboard The Orlando Eye, a 400-foot-tall observation wheel.

Whether you’re after a midweek treat or a special weekend out, take a look at our November line-up and start planning your next character-filled day out
