Families will enjoy a tour of London accompanied by live puppet performances, interactive puppet dance workshops and more this August
Hamleys is teaming with The Puppet Company to bring the Hamleys Puppet Party Bus experience to London this summer.
Families will enjoy a 90-minute open top tour of London’s iconic landmarks with live entertainment, puppetry, audience participation and a complimentary puppet for every guest onboard – even the adults.
“We’re incredibly proud to launch the first ever brand activation on the Hamleys Sightseeing Bus, marking another exciting milestone in how we’re bringing the Hamleys experience to life beyond our stores,” said Keane Herman, Head of UK Retail at Hamleys. “Partnering with The Puppet Company is the perfect way to begin this journey and with them pulling the strings on the fun on the bus, it’s fair to say we’re in safe hands.
“This is a partnership celebrating two iconic brands that share a passion for family fun. This is so much more than a sightseeing tour, it’s a theatrical adventure that fills the streets of London with storytelling and unforgettable moments”
Touring three times a day across the weekends of 1-2, 8-9 and 15-16 August, guests are immersed in the spirit of the city, taking in some of London’s most iconic landmarks before concluding at the world famous Hamleys Regent Street store. The tour includes live puppet performances, interactive puppet dance workshops, meet-and-greet moments with puppet characters, family-friendly games, songs and surprises across the capital.
Sue Lockey, Owner and Co-Founder of The Puppet Company, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be bringing our puppets to life in such a theatrical and memorable way against one of the world’s most iconic city backdrops. It’s a partnership that perfectly captures the imagination, creativity and sense of fun that both Hamleys and The Puppet Company are known for, and we’re proud to be celebrating this collaboration together.”
