Meet Bing and Flop this Spring
Families will have the chance to meet Bing, the title character from the multi-award winning animated series this spring.
Bing and Flop will be with us from Saturday 23 March until Sunday 2 June for Bing’s Nature Explorers event programme. There will be a range of Bing-themed activities to encourage families and young children to explore the fascinating wetlands and discover the birds, plants and animals that live there.
Bing is one of TV’s best loved characters, adored by children and parents alike. And he’s become one of our best advocates for getting outdoors and learning through play. Precisely what we are all about! It’s the perfect match and we’re super excited to share it with everyone who visits.
The Bing activity trail, which will be accompanied by a paper trail handout, will encourage little legs to explore the further reaches of the wetlands and learn about the range of plants, birds and other animals that will be emerging after winter and starting to have their young in spring.
There will also be Bing storytelling sessions hosted by WWT team members in our visitor centre featuring the books from HarperCollins.
In addition, on selected dates Bingsters will have the chance to meet the Bing and Flop costume characters for special photo opportunities.
Plus there will be interactive mini shows with Bing and Flop on 23 March - 14 April, to introduce and help young children learn more about exciting wetland wildlife.
More information about the Bing Nature Explorers event programme is available here.
Bing merchandise will be available for sale in the gift shop with a souvenir Bing sticker for every child who completes the trail and paper Bing ears for Bingsters at the storytelling and mini show sessions.
Commenting on the partnership Kirsty Southgate, Director of Experiential and Promotions, Acamar Films said:
Bing and his friends love the outdoors, finding opportunities to play outside and learn more about the plants and animals around them. These Bing activities with WWT will encourage new visitors to their locations and we hope that these visitors also find the same joy in exploring and learning more about UK wetland wildlife.
