Clangers head out on festival tour

Characters set to appear at likes of Camp Bestival, On Blackheath and Bluedot.

Coolabi is taking the Clangers characters on a nationwide tour of family friendly festivals this summer.

The characters have already appeared at the Geronimo festival, with the next stop being Bluedot at Jodrell Bank Observatory, near Macclesfield from July 22-24.

Clangers will be surprising fans inside the UK Space Agency Mission Control dome with a mini-show, storytelling, installations and space-themed crafts and activities. There will also be episode screenings and exclusive Q&As on both days with Clangers animators.

Camp Bestival is next on the list – running from July 28-31 at Lulworth Castle, Dorset – complete with an outer space theme. The mini-show is on the main stage and includes meet and greets as well as the Small & Tiny giant inflatables.

Clangers have also joined the line-up for On Blackheath Festival, London in partnership with John Lewis, on September 10-11.

Small and Tiny costume characters will be appearing, while Penguin Books will host storytelling sessions.

Across all of the events Clangers will be promoting kindness and encouraging others to do the same via the hashtag #ClangersForKindness.

Anya Hollis, head of marketing at Coolabi, commented: “The UK-wide festival tour will be a fantastic opportunity for children and families to interact with the Clangers, engaging with them in new and exciting ways.

“We have worked closely with the festival organisers to create bespoke activities that will provide children with some unforgettable experiences.”
