We invite you to a special one-hour event celebrating the legacy of Sooty and Sweep, as well as the man behind the magic, Richard Cadell.
From their humble beginnings to becoming TV legends, Richard will share stories, answer your questions, and reveal secrets from behind the curtain. You’ll also get the chance to join a group photo with them.
So what are you waiting for? Sweep up your tickets before they go!
Sooty
What do you mean, he's just a puppet? Never has a small piece of yellow fur been imbued with so much rumbustious personality and the potential to create so much havoc! Sooty (with the help of his friends Soo & Sweep) holds the record for being the longest running kids' programme ever, first appearing on TV in 1952. 'Richard Cadell is a born entertainer' (The Guardian) 'A real treat for the children and a dose of nostalgia for the parents' (The Stage) 'Richard Cadell is as close to a Corbett as you will ever get - Sooty is on the right hands!' (Matthew Corbett).
