Family day out: Peppa Pig 'Festival of Fun' to hit the big screen

If your little ones are anything like, well every other kid, then they are huge Peppa Pig fans. 

So here is the good news – ten new, never-before-seen-episodes and a Live Action Musical is set to hit cinemas, providing fans with a one-hour Peppa Pig extravaganza.

Entertainment One’s (eOne) beloved series Peppa Pig will be in cinemas nationwide to mark the 15 year anniversary of the nation’s favourite little piggy. 

So when will it be out?

It's set for release in April 2019, which is the perfect time for a treat during the Easter holidays.

It will be a 2-part festival special, complete with new characters and locations for the kids to enjoy. 

As well as that, the ten new episodes will be connected with never-before-seen interactive entertainment featuring little ones singing and playing along with their favourite onscreen characters.

The new release is part of eOne’s successful My First Cinema Experience format which offers young children a gentle introduction to the cinema for little ones and features the familiar voice talents of Harley Bird (Peppa), Morwenna Banks (Mummy Pig), Richard Ridings (Daddy Pig), Sarah Ann Kennedy (Miss Rabbit) and John Sparkes (narrator).

So get ready to join in with the ‘oink-tastic’ adventures as they dance in the mud at a children’s festival, celebrate Grandpa Pig’s birthday at a restaurant for the first time, and take a trip to the cinema to see Super Potato’s big movie feature.

A lovely idea for a family day out, right?
