Blackpool Grand Theatre children’s ambassador Matcham Monkey would like to invite everyone to a very special FREE Birthday Bash to celebrate his 2nd Birthday!

Matcham Monkey’s very special 2nd birthday event is taking place at Matcham Count (rear of the Grand Theatre) on Sunday 11th April from 11am to 2pm. Matcham Monkey has one of the best FREE FAMILY FUN DAY's every year.

Are your little chimps looking for something fun to do this Easter Holidays?

More than 2000 lucky people came to the official Matcham Monkey launch at the theatre in 2008, then in 2009 hundreds of you came to celebrate his 1st Birthday at the Hounds Hill Shopping centre. This year Matcham had so much fun on the launch he wanted to do it all over again! And you’re all invited!

There’s lots of exciting and entertaining FREE things to do for everyone including face painting, a big bouncy castle, storytelling, dancers, costume characters, theatre tours, balloons, stickers, fab free giveaways and some VERY BIG surprises!

Fancy dress as always is optional but we know you all love it so knock your socks off! Matcham Monkey loves dressing up, in fact he has already picked out two VERY SPECIAL outfits for the day! We will have an amazing prize for 'Best Dressed' on the day and watch out for The Galactic Knights.

The paparazzi will also be all over this fabulous free event, following Matcham Monkey everywhere he goes - so see if you can get in on the shot!

Blackpool’s Grand Theatre launched the Matcham Monkey Club in 2008 to offer children aged 2 to 12 the chance to get more involved with the live theatre experience.

The Matcham Monkey Club at the Grand offers lots of exciting benefits for members including a FREE exclusive membership card, special discount for pantomime tickets, an opportunity for free show tickets, birthday treats, special events and the chance to meet the characters from your favourite children’s shows! And it’s free to join!

Matcham Monkey can’t wait to see all of his friends. He’s cute and cuddly and can’t wait to meet even more…

Grand Theatre General Manager, Neil Thomson, said: “The Grand launched the Matcham Monkey Club to encourage young people to engage in the theatre and to encourage their parents to bring them. The launch of the club also coincided with a marked increase in children’s programming at the theatre.

“We designed Matcham Monkey ourselves and named him after the original architect of the Grand, Frank Matcham, as it’s important our club members are aware of the wonderful history of the building. I think we are one of the first theatres in the UK to have a costume character and we decided to go that way as they are so popular with children. He’s already proved to be a huge success in his first year.

“So go ape! Join us to wish Matcham Monkey a VERY HAPPY SECOND 'BIG BASH' BIRTHDAY!”
