Peppa Pig will be hogging the limelight at Hereford's Old Market centre this Bank Holiday Monday.

The popular children's character is the highlight of a programme of family events taking place across the weekend to mark the public holiday.

On Saturday there will be free face-painting between 11am - 4pm.

There will be entertainment for adults, too, with live bands playing a medley of music on Saturday and Sunday, while balloon modellers will also be on hand on Sunday to twist and shape a whole array of colourful creations.

Peppa Pig will arrive on Monday and will be making appearances at intervals between 11am and 4pm.

Alan Anderson of Old Market Hereford said: “The Bank Holiday weekend is a fantastic opportunity for families to enjoy a fun day out, so we’re excited to announce this programme of activities taking place at Old Market.

“Kids love Peppa Pig, so we’re really looking forward to welcoming her to the centre to meet the children of Hereford and help them make most of the Bank Holiday weekend and celebrate the start of half term, whilst giving parents the perfect excuse for a spot of retail therapy.”
