The "Peppa Pig" window display is set up at the retailer's flagship Regent Street branch from this week until September. It features Peppa's world with theme park styling and 3D characters. Products within the display are from Character Options, TY, HTI, Trademark, Ladybird Publishing and Golden Bear. Character Options will also be showcasing their brand-new "Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom" toy range, now available at the store, in the window. The in-store events are taking place at four Hamleys locations in the UK. Activities include treasure hunts, competitions, themed parties and visits and photo opportunities with the Nick Jr. megastar herself. The first 125 children to visit each participating store will also be given a oink-tastic free gift!
Hannah Mungo, the head of U.K. licensing at eOne, commented: "We are delighted to be partnering with Hamleys on this exciting marketing initiative. Peppa's summer activity at Hamleys is a great brand-building exercise and allows us to give something back to consumers who can immerse themselves in Peppa's world and even take a selfie with Peppa herself! The window brings together two iconic British brands and being within walking distance from where Peppa is animated is a fantastic addition to Peppa's ten-year celebrations."
Grant Yuill, the marketing support manager for Hamleys, added: "We're thrilled to be teaming up with eOne on what we know will be a massive hit with visitors of all ages across the summer. Peppa is a huge success amongst children and families, so it's really exciting for us to be able to offer our customers a wonderful interactive experience throughout the school holidays."
