Special birthday celebrations for children's favourite Zog the Dragon

There is a very special birthday happening in Blackpool this week… and it is guaranteed to be a roaring celebration all families will want to be a part of. 

The 12th of June marks Zog Day, and to celebrate his 15th Birthday, The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse is launching a brand-new show along with a magical lineup of family activities.  

Zog Day is encouraging fans young and old to “Be More Zog”. Throughout his adventures, Zog faces life’s bumps and setbacks with positivity, perseverance, resilience and help from his friends.  

The stories, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffer, are about the importance of caring, kindness, friendship, encouragement and teamwork. 

Running until 13th July, exclusively at The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse Blackpool, Zog’s Surprise Birthday Party is a fun-filled, limited-time show all about preparing for Zog’s birthday bash. 

Families can enjoy meet and greet opportunities and a chance to lend a helping hand to the clubhouse hosts as they decorate for Zog’s surprise birthday party bash, where everyone can show off their best dance moves. 

Jenn McDonough, Cluster General Manager at The Gruffalo & Friends Clubhouse Blackpool, said: “We can’t wait to celebrate Zog’s 15-year anniversary here at the clubhouse, and for our guests to see our brand-new birthday show! 

“Zog is such a beloved character, and we love seeing people who grew up with his adventures and new fans alike introducing new generations to everyone’s favourite little dragon 15 years on. 

“We have a jam-packed lineup of fun family activities this summer, so be sure to come along and enrol in Dragon School, and of course, celebrate Zog’s birthday!” 

From 14th July – 20th August, little ones can enrol in Dragon School, taking on the challenge of learning how to roar, fly, breathe fire, be a kind dragon, and be helpful towards others.
