Zog the Dragon turns 15 with special birthday celebrations in Blackpool
There is a very special birthday happening in Blackpool this week… and it is guaranteed to be a roaring celebration all families will want to be a part of.
Today officially marks Zog Day, and to celebrate the iconic character’s 15th Birthday, The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse is launching a brand-new show along with a magical lineup of family activities.
Zog Day is encouraging fans young and old to “Be More Zog”.
Throughout his adventures, Zog faces life’s bumps and setbacks with positivity, perseverance, resilience and help from his friends.
The stories, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffer, are about the importance of caring, kindness, friendship, encouragement and teamwork.
What sort of celebrations have been arranged?
Running until July 13, exclusively at The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse Blackpool, Zog’s Surprise Birthday Party is a fun-filled, limited-time show all about preparing for Zog’s birthday bash.
Families can enjoy meet and greet opportunities and a chance to lend a helping hand to the clubhouse hosts as they decorate for Zog’s surprise birthday party bash, where everyone can show off their best dance moves.
From July 14 – August 20, little ones can also enrol in Dragon School, taking on the challenge of learning how to roar, fly, breathe fire, be a kind dragon, and be helpful towards others.
