Noddy and friends are back!
8:22am Thursday 17th April 2008
Noddy and pals including Big Ears and Tessie Bear will be spending the first May Bank Holiday at Harewood House.
Youngsters are invited to join the characters over the weekend of May 4 and 5 when there will be fun family activities at the historic site.
Noddy's visits have been a popular event at Harewood for the past few years, with youngsters travelling from around the region to meet the Toyland friends.
Travelling up in Noddy's car will be his best friend Big Ears, along with Tessie Bear, who "loves coming to Harewood because she can take Bumpy Dog for lots of nice walks in the grounds."
Mr Plod will be on duty to help direct the traffic and also to keep an eye on the naughty Gobbo.
Noddy and all his friends will be based at the north front of the house and will be taking a walk around the site to meet youngsters. Some youngsters might even be lucky enough to sit in Noddy's famous car.
Fun and games throughout the day include a circus workshop, a mini funfair, a go-kart party, Noddy shop, and Harewood's adventure playground. Gates will open from 10am to 6pm each day.
