Lincoln kids will get the chance to meet their favourite cartoon character when Peppa Pig comes to The Waterside Shopping Centre on Friday, December 16.

The character will make five appearances at midday, 1.00pm, 2.30pm, 3.30pm and 4.30pm on Friday, the first day of the Christmas holidays, next to New Look.

As well as having the chance to meet Peppa, there will also be additional free activities for children, including face painting.

Chantelle Henderson, marketing manager at the Centre, said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming Peppa Pig to the Waterside.

“She’s a really popular character and we’re sure she’ll be a big hit with children and parents alike!”

There will also be a free entry prize draw for parents, offering the chance to win up to £300 of Christmas goodies.

“To enter the prize draw, all people need to do is come to the lower floor of the mall, fill in an entry form and hand to a Waterside representative,” Henderson explained.
