Calling all little explorers and their grown-ups! This 29-30 March, W5 is bringing the magic of Puffin Rock to life for a weekend packed with fun, creativity, and adventure. If your little one loves Oona, Baba, and their island friends - or if they’re discovering the magic of Puffin Rock -this is the perfect event to dive into their world!
The beloved pre-school animated series Puffin Rock follows the adventures of sister-and-brother puffin duo Oona and Baba. Alongside their friends—Silky the Seal, Otto the Owl, May the Rabbit, and Mossy the ever-busy Pygmy Shrew - they explore the beauty of nature, learn valuable life lessons, and, of course, have lots of fun along the way.
Now, you and your little pufflings can step into their world at W5! Here’s what’s in store:
