Mr Bloom’s Allotment

Guests entered the queue line, which was a living and working garden comprising of a range of different plants and flowers, from runner beans to lavender. Upon approaching the front of the queue, guests were batched into groups and welcomed to the allotments by Mr Bloom’s neighbour, Mr Blossom. Guests would then be led through a gate, into a fenced off area where Mr Blossom had a general chat with the group, including the ‘Tiddlers’, whilst waiting to enter the main part of the attraction.

When ready, guests were taken through the door into Mr. Bloom’s allotment itself. Another of his neighbours explained that Mr Bloom was on holiday and had asked for help to keep an eye on everything, with even a phone call from Mr. Bloom himself, checking in to make sure guests knew how to feed Compo if he got hungry! When the phone call finished, Compo (a large composting machine) made a grumbling sound indicating that he was hungry, with it then up to the Tiddlers to help find items to feed him, learning about recycling and sustainability at the same time.

Once Compo was fed and happy, guests would head into Mr Bloom’s shed to meet the Veggies, who had been enjoying all the rides in CBeebies Land. However, the Wee McGregors were too small to get on any of the rides, and so it was up to guests to first of all help find the Wee McGregors hiding around the shed, and then, with Compo’s help, make them a ride of their own to enjoy. Once done, Mr Bloom would call to check how everyone was getting on and that everyone had been having a good time. After that, all that remained was to put the Veggies to bed before it was time to leave the allotment.
