One of the nation's most popular book characters is coming to Evesham.
Families will have the chance to meet Stick Man at The Valley this weekend.
Stick Man comes from the much-loved children's book by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, in which the titular character attempts to find his family after being separated.
In 2015, Stick Man was turned into an animated film featuring the voices of Martin Freeman, Sally Hawkins, Jennifer Saunders, Hugh Bonneville and Rob Brydon.
Airing on BBC 1 on Christmas Day, the film's premiere was watched by more than nine million people.
Stick Man will be shown again this Sunday, on CBeebiees at 9.30am, ahead of his visit to The Valley.
The wooded character will be making regular meet-and-greet appearances in the mall at set times throughout the day - 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm, and 3,30pm.
The event is free to attend and no booking is required.
