The PAW Patrol team, Peppa Pig family, PJ Masks gang, Hey Duggee and Bluey and Bingo will be visiting Howletts on select dates throughout August to meet and greet their fans.

Every Wednesday throughout August a beloved TV character will be meeting young fans at intervals throughout the day on Howletts’ open-air grasslands, close to the popular Pavilion
Café. Bring the whole family to make special memories and get some great photos on the following dates:

2nd August: PAW Patrol – Meet Chase, Marshall, Rubble and Skye

Multiple special appearances from the characters will take place on each date so keep an eye on the Howletts website for times.

The chance to meet your favourite character is included in the cost of your Howletts day entry ticket.

Day entry ticket prices are, adults £24.50, child £20 (3-15) and under 3’s go free, BUT if you purchase a family annual pass for just £250 you could attend ALL five events!
