RAINBOW BLOG: JULY EVENTS

Summer is well and truly in full swing, and we couldn't be more excited - because July is shaping up to be a brilliant month!

But first, let's look back at a June absolutely packed with highlights…

Festival season got off to the most magical start as Zog and Bluey headed to We Invented the Weekend, while the Teletubbies took things international with a very busy trip to the Cannes Lions Festival!

June also marked a hugely exciting new chapter for us here at Rainbow - we officially opened our brand new offices in Farnham, celebrating in true Rainbow style with our very own Patch and the legendary Bully from Bullseye in attendance. We cannot wait to see what this exciting new chapter holds!

Dennis and Gnasher were on top mischief-making duty as they headed out to crown Britain's Funniest Class of 2026 - Boyce Class (Year 6) from Joy Lane Primary School in Whitstable.  Meeting the nation's finest young troublemakers was the perfect job for those two!

Paddington™ brought his charm to cheer on the incredible athletes at UK Ekiden - a truly special appearance from a very special bear.

And closer to home, we gained some new neighbours in Colliers Wood as a brand new Smyths Toys opened nearby - with Freya, the Minions and Peppa Pig all turning up to help launch the store in the most epic way possible. Safe to say it was an absolute blast!

July is already looking action-packed, and we have so many exciting events lined up - watch this space!
