Peppa Pig and George will also be having their very own reading sessions too - perfect for parents, babies and toddlers to enjoy together.

Families will also be able to join Shaun The Sheep for fun and games that will have them bouncing, singing and frolicking around the farmyard with Shaun and his friends.
