Usually crowded St Pancras International was today characterised by a relaxing atmosphere to host the first Pudsey’s FamilyFun Day.

This fun-fuelled activity day, offering a giant Pudsey bear picnic, treasure hunt, drawing sessions and face-painting activities,  just to mentioned a few, is part of great fundraising events that communities, schools, workplaces and individuals are organising in their local areas to support Children in Need.

Hundreds of families today gathered in St Pancras International to take part to this brand new event tailored just for little ones.

Lorraine Siery, a mother-of-three from London, said: ”The event looks fantastic and my daughters are really enjoying it”.

Evangeline, 6, Imogene, 5 and youngest sibling Eleonore, 3 got Pudsey stickers, their faces painted and Ms Siery bought them Pudsey headbands and a Bear toy, as well.

Children in Need, that started in 1980, is a very popular fundraising event across the UK, with people dressing up in Pudsey Bear fancy dress outfits, baking Pudsey Bear cookies for sale and buying the official charity merchandise in support of the causes they help.

“I think that Pudsey’s Family Fun Day is a good way for the kids to realise that many other children are not so lucky.

“Next week the BBC TVshow is on and my daughters will be happy to watch it, as they already know Pudsey Bear. I believe they will be more involved because of today’s event”, Ms Siery added.

 

St Pancras’ passers-by can visit the VIP collection of Pudsey Bears, that will be on display at until November 17.
