Ahoy there! Calling all Pip Ahoy! fans in Didsbury! Pip will be paying a visit to Didsbury toy store, Giddy Goat Toys on Friday 30th October 2015. Pip will be in store from 2pm and will spend the afternoon meeting his fans who will have the opportunity to have their photograph taken with their friend Pip.

In the lead up to 30th October, fans will also have the opportunity to enter a charity raffle in store and win a Pip Ahoy! Toys bundle. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Salford and Manchester branch of the RSPCA. The winner will be announced by Pip on Friday 30th October.

Jenny Johnstone, Commercial Director at CHF Entertainment said “As a local company it is fantastic to work with other businesses within the area in joint ventures such as this. Pip Ahoy! aspires young minds to explore their surroundings and therefore it is fantastic to have an opportunity to get Pip into the wider community and meet his fans.”
