Children across the UK can watch the children’s character, Blippi, explore their home turf this week as he visits The Championships, Wimbledon in two brand new episodes.
This summer UK fans will see Blippi ignite children’s curiosity as he takes on another adventure, this time on British soil, exploring how the team at Wimbledon prepare for the world-famous Grand Slam.
The first episode, titled Blippi’s Wimbledon Match Day launched on Saturday 29 June and the second episode, Blippi Explores Jobs at Wimbledon, will be released today (Tuesday 2 July).
The special episodes feature Blippi getting to work at the All England Club – brushing up on his tennis skills, shadowing the ground staff and visiting the commentary box, so that children get an exclusive behind the scenes look at The Championships.
“Wimbledon is an iconic British moment watched by the world, and we’re excited to see Blippi celebrate it with UK fans for the first time,” commented Katelynn Heil, general manager for Blippi at Moonbug Entertainment. “These episodes are packed with courtside fun while exploring the teamwork and sportsmanship that define tennis. We can’t wait for children to watch the episodes and hope they inspire families across the country to pick up a tennis racquet this summer.”
Usama Al-Qassab, marketing and commercial director for Wimbledon, added: “We are always looking at ways to attract and engage Wimbledon’s next generation. These episodes combine the excitement and fun of Blippi’s adventures with the magical world of Wimbledon, giving a behind the scenes look of The Championships and inspiring young fans. We hope children around the world watching will learn more about the different roles and areas onsite that make Wimbledon so unique, and one day come and visit SW19 for themselves.”
