It’s that time of year again when the summer holidays come to an end and the kids head back to school. But while the school routine returns, the fun doesn’t have to stop! Before we look ahead to September’s events, let’s take a look back at August’s highlights!

Mr. Tickle marked the 55^th anniversary of Mr. Men & Little Miss with a visit to Battersea Power Station.

Children’s favourites including Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Hey Duggee, Supertato, Bluey, Bing and more joined the line-ups at family festivals, bringing lots of joy to the festivalgoers. They were spotted at Camp Bestival, Gloworm Festival, CarFest, The Big Festival and Victorious Festival.

Room on the Broom’s The Witch and The Cat made her debut appearances at various Forestry venues up and down the UK to join in on their exciting, themed trail. She had an amazing time.

But first, let's look back at a March to remember…

Hey Duggee made special appearances on the sidelines of Greg James’ incredible Comic Relief challenge, lifting spirits, entertaining the crowds, and helping to build a buzz ahead of Greg's arrival at different stops. An unforgettable moment for a truly brilliant cause.

Dennis the Menace celebrated his 10^th birthday for the 75^th time – what an exciting milestone! The nation’s most beloved and mischievous comic book character marked a truly iconic anniversary in style by launching a special edition featuring 75 creative mischief-makers. We cant wait to see more from him this year!

March 20th, was Very Hungry Caterpillar Day in honour of Eric Carle's timeless classic. The Very Hungry Caterpillar himself ventured to the beautiful Walthamstow Wetlands for meet & greets and storytelling sessions, celebrating the launch of The Very Hungry Caterpillar trail — which runs all the way until 30th June. A must-visit!

World Book Day kicked off the beginning of the month in the best way possible, with Mr Bump and Little Miss Sunshine bringing the magic to Battersea Power Station. Families were treated to an exciting treasure hunt, making for a truly special day of literacy celebration.

More recently, Bluey, Bingo, Chilli & Bandit officially opened a brand-new ride at Alton Towers at the weekend! It was a huge moment for the Heeler family and a brilliant day out for the fans!

We excitedly step into March as the days slowly start to stretch and the first hints of spring appear. February has been a busy and brilliant month for character events.

One of the biggest talking points of this month has come from the world of Peppa Pig, as her little brother George made headlines after being fitted with a hearing aid following a diagnosis of moderate, permanent hearing loss.

Paddington™ made appearances across London to celebrate the launch of the new Paddington x Lush collection, made with fresh ingredients and seriously good manners.

Legoland Windsor celebrates its 30^th birthday this year, marking the milestone with interactive experiences, including the chance to meet the world's first-ever LEGO Birthday Cake Guy at the park.

Peter Rabbit™ hopped his way around shopping centres across the UK as part of Ebebek’s retail initiative – together his charm (and their wonderful Peter Rabbit collection), increased a drive in footfall.

And in schools up and down the country, Number Day was marked with plenty of mathematical fun – with Numberblocks’ very own Numberblock One making a very special visit alongside the NSPCC.

It's been a packed month, and we have plenty more exciting events lined up ahead!
