Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Did you visit us on Tuesday 11 or Wednesday 12 April? If so, you may have spotted a few familiar faces, as our grounds were filled with free activities, dance workshops and more thanks to our friends at CBeebies and Northern Ballet, who were here to celebrate their joint production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, premiering on CBeebies this Easter Weekend!

We were chuffed to be joined by CBeebies present Cerrie on Tuesday, and Joanna from the Let’s Go Club on Wednesday, plus Elmo, Funella and Fergus from the Furchester Hotel put in regular appearances and gave out lots of cuddles (and posed for pictures) throughout both days.

The team from Northern Ballet ran regular dance workshops, with a drop-in Dancing Beebies disco running in-between workshops in our colour dance tent.

Visitors on both days didn’t have to wait until the joint production of Goldilocks and the Three Bears airs on Monday 17 April, as free preview screenings ran in the rather impressive (and tardis-like) cinema bus! We were absolutely delighted to also be visited by Kay Benbow, Controller of CBeebies on Tuesday 11 April.

What a memorable two days, and thanks to our friends at CBeebies and Northern Ballet for bringing Dancing Beebies to Eureka!

Here are just a few photos snapped during the event. Pics courtesy of Becca McAusland and Les Gibbon.

So, hands up if you got a photo with Elmo?
