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.

Meet our PAW Patrol characters

Marshall

Our favourite clumsy Dalmatian with a heart of gold. Marshall serves as both fire pup and medic pup. He checks for fires, tackles rescues with his ladder and uses his X-ray screen to assess injuries. He is excitable, sometimes a little accident-prone and best known for “I’m okay.” His uniform is red.

Book Marshall for your next event.

Chase

A German Shepherd and natural leader. Chase keeps everything in order as a police and traffic pup, and later takes on spy missions. He drives the traffic truck, directs vehicles during incidents and stays focused on the job. He wears dark blue and is confident and organised, though he is allergic to cats and feathers.

Book Chase for your next event.

Rubble

Our English Bulldog and construction expert. Rubble wears yellow, drives a bulldozer-style construction truck and loves a hearty snack. He is strong and dependable, a little wary of spiders and very soft-hearted, especially with small animals. He is a brilliant choice for charity and family events.

Skye

The first female member of the team, Skye is a cockapoo who pilots the helicopter with real flair. She transports the team, performs aerial rescues and brings plenty of warmth and optimism. Her signature colour is pink.
