Each character's appearance is included within Birdworld’s entry price and will provide a unique opportunity for children to interact with their favourite characters.

Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the rest of the park’s family-friendly offerings, including the brand-new attraction Love + Colour.

The immersive experience features an array of magnificent, colourful birds in an enchanting walkthrough experience with vibrant murals and beautifully designed 'selfie' spots, along with interactive play areas specially designed for young children.

In addition to Love + Colour, guests will have the opportunity to visit Birdworld’s new Wildlife Garden, where visitors can learn how to attract wildlife into their outdoor spaces. Guests can also interact with fun activities and take a quiz to win a prize.

Woodies Wheeler-Bennett, marketing manager, said: "We're incredibly excited to bring some of the most beloved TV and film characters to Birdworld this summer.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for children to meet their heroes and make magical memories, so we highly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.
