Grandma Pig’s Little Train As well as regular costume character appearances, “
guests can meet Peppa inside her house perched upon a hill, where she can be seen with her family enjoying a pancake breakfast. The Paddling Ducks, a cute little pond feature, is one of several other reproductions of elements from TV series. Families can enjoy a snack or sweet treat at Daddy

Pig’s Big Tummy Café or Miss Rabbit’s Ice Cream Parlour, while Peppa’s Magic Photo Studio, Pedra Pony’s Ride Photos and the world’s largest Peppa Pig ship are on hand for those wanting a souvenir of their day. Candy Cat’s Games Kiosk provides some classic carnival fun. Lorton will not be drawn on how long the licence
period lasts, however as the Peppa brand has been steadily gathering in momentum over the last seven years, this little pig seems certain to stay around for a little while yet. Unlike Drayton Manor, where Thomas Land plays an integral part of the park’s Christmas
George’s Spaceship Play Zone
and February school holiday openings, there are no special Peppa Pig events planned just yet, although the indoor play area and associated facilities provide some potential. In the meantime the park hopes to attract the
attention of families from across the UK and boost its attendance by up to 60,000, from its current annual attendance total of around half a million. “Peppa Pig is an international brand, whereas
Paultons Park is a well-known and highly respected brand regionally, but we are not known nationally,” highlights Lorton. “I think Peppa will introduce many people to Paultons for the first time. I’ve already seen people on the internet saying they don’t intend to go abroad this year but may spend a few days down in the New Forest, and one of those days with us.”
