On the afternoon of Tuesday 1st June, Bob the Builder and Fireman Sam appeared at Smyths Toy Store in Charlton, following a visit to the Rayleigh Weir store earlier that morning.
Pictured here at the Charlton store, Bob the Builder met lots of eager children, helping them choose from the range of licensed merchandise available in-store. Later on, Fireman Sam also posed for photos with his adoring fans, some of whom even came dressed up as their idol.
Competitions were also being held on the day for children to win Bob the Builder or Fireman Sam prize packs. This also included the chance to win one family ticket to The Little Big Club Live in Concert, where the winner would be able to see their heroes live on stage!
Rainbow Productions teamed up with HIT Entertainment for this event, which was part of a wider half-term tour taking Bob the Builder and Fireman Sam to Smyths Toy Stores across the country including Thanet, Beckton, Mitcham, Cardiff, Dublin, Castlevale and Sheffield.
