The Isle of Wight’s very own celebrity penguin is to launch this year’s Isle of Wight Walking Festival on Saturday 7 May.
Dippy the Penguin,
star of Seaview Wildlife Encounter who thinks he’s a human and
attracted over 4,000 friends on Facebook, will cut a ribbon to mark the
start of the festival. It runs from 7 to 22 May 2011 and features over
300 guided walks for all ages and abilities.Launch at Seaview Wildlife Encounter
As part of the launch day celebrations at Seaview Wildlife Encounter, two guided walks will take place around the park with the official launch at 12 noon.
The family-friendly walks – one at 9.45am and the other at 1.45pm – will take visitors around the park stopping off to learn about the wildlife at the attraction.
Children are encouraged to dress as penguins to mark the occasion and judges will select their favourite fancy dress outfit after the second guided walk at approximately 4pm.
