Andy and the Odd Socks
Andy and the Odd Socks are one of the most popular bands for young children in the UK. Stars of the wacky comedy drama ‘Andy and the Band’ currently on CBeebies and CBBC, the Odd Socks are always there to help their fans along the way and of course save the day…in their own inimitable way. Fronted by Andy Day, one of the most popular children’s TV personalities, the Odd Socks are all about fun and laughter, but more importantly they deliver a message of individuality, acceptance and tolerance. Which is what being an Odd Sock is all about… because everyone is different and that’s good! We are delighted to have the band performing at Pudsey’s Spot at CarFest for a concert that promises to bring joy to every member of the family!

Jackson Superhero
Jackson Superhero might not be a real name, but it is a story about a real boy. Jackson is far from ordinary. From birth, the real Jackson was like every other child, he passed all the regular milestones, but just after his first birthday he was diagnosed with Krabbe disease and wasn't expected to live beyond the age of two.
While he may be limited during the day, in the evening, when he dreams, Jackson can be anything he wants to be. This fantastic story of a young boy going above and beyond will bring inspiration to parents and children who have to muster their superpowers on a daily basis. This book is for those who push back against daily challenges, for whom comfort, and happiness require extra patience, strength, and love.
BBC Children in Need fund Little Haven’s Hospice where Jackson has been receiving support.
