Nickelodeon's PAW Patrol CG-animated preschool series stars a pack of heroic rescue pups - Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, Skye and the newest pup Everest - who are led by a tech-savvy boy named Ryder. Together, they work hard to show the people of Adventure Bay that "no job is too big, no Pup is too small!" Produced by Spin Master Entertainment, the series on Nick Jr. features a curriculum that focuses on citizenship, team building, social skills and problem-solving. PAW Patrol airs everyday on Nick Jr. UK and Ireland/HD.
Cllr John Roberts, chairman of the Darwen Town Centre Partnership Board, said it was a popular show with his grandchildren and will go down well.
He said: "It should be a really great event and so far we have had loads of interest particularly from families with young children who are excited that they will get chance to meet Paw Patrol."
