SONIC The Hedgehog fans will have an exclusive opportunity to meet their hero this month as the cartoon character arrives in Cheshire.

On Saturday, October 22, from 10am – 4pm, the iconic character will be at The Entertainer store in the Coliseum Retail Park, Ellesmere Port to capture some super snaps.

Sonic will be at the Coliseum store for one day only before he speeds off to save Tails, so visitors are advised to arrive in plenty of time. Families and fans can arrive any time between 10am and 4pm for the chance to meet and greet one of the world’s most popular children’s characters.

The Entertainer’s Sonic the Hedgehog meet and greet is completely free-of-charge and provides families with a fun-filled day out, where they can capture memorable photos.

Craig Lowe, events coordinator at The Entertainer, said: "We’re excited to be welcoming families to our store to meet the lighting-fast cartoon hero, Sonic The Hedgehog! Sonic has inspired children for more than 30 years, and it’s great to see him being enjoyed by a whole new generation.

"Whether you’re three or 33, we can’t wait to see guests’ best superhero poses as they join us for an exciting family day out capturing snaps with Sonic!"
