Nickelodeon UK has announced a multi-year partnership with open air cinema specialist, The Luna Cinema!

Nickelodeon UK has announced a multi-year partnership with the market’s leading producer of open-air cinema events, The Luna Cinema, for the launch of The Nickelodeon Experience. The brand-new fully immersive experience, which builds upon a successful five-year collaboration with Comedy Central for its award-winning FriendsFest, will launch in spring 2022, before subsequently touring the UK and Ireland.

Update (6/2/22) - It looks like The Nickelodeon Experience may have been delayed a little bit, with the launch now set for summer 2022. A message on the updated website reads: "The Nickelodeon Experience will be touring the UK from summer 2022: London, Birmingham and Manchester. Further locations and dates to be announced in Ireland and Scotland soon."

With two distinct areas, the Nick Jr. Experience and the Nickelodeon Studio Tour, The Nickelodeon Experience will include multi-sensory, interactive zones where guests can step into the world of their favourite Nickelodeon TV shows, taking immersive kids’ events to a whole new level.

The Nick Jr. Experience will cater to the under-sevens, transporting young PAW Patrol fans to Adventure Bay, where they will meet Chase and Marshall, before going on their own mission to discover a Paw Patrol soft play zone. The Nick Jr. Experience will also include an arts and crafts station, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles underground lair, complete with a tunnel maze as well as a water zone inspired by the world of Nick Jr.’s latest animation success Santiago of the Seas, where fans will be able to climb aboard a pirate ship and participate in water play including magnetic fishing and boat races.

For children aged seven and over, The Nickelodeon Studio Tour will be a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of some of Nickelodeon’s most popular shows. The tour will begin at The Thundermans’ School for Superheroes, where Nickelodeon star Kira Kosarin (Phoebe Thunderman) will provide lessons on how to acquire superpowers, before entering Henry Danger’s Cave, in which visitors will have to navigate through a maze full of hidden secrets. Afterwards, children will have to work together as a team to crack the code and find the key to get out of the Hunter Street Escape Room. Finally, guests will walk up the famous orange carpet before joining the after-party and enjoying Nickelodeon’s iconic ‘slime time’.

Additionally, children and their parents will be able to lounge at the SpongeBob SquarePants "Bikini Bottom Beach", where food and drinks will be available from themed stalls. There will also be a Nickelodeon Store. Bespoke activation areas and sponsorship opportunities will be made available to brand partners, both directly and via ViacomCBS Networks International's (VCNI) UK sales house, Sky Media.

Virginia Monaghan, Vice President (VP), Events and Experiences, ViacomCBS UK, commented: “We are thrilled to be partnering with The Luna Cinema to bring our hugely popular Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows to life through this uniquely immersive experience. This is a chance for children to make new memories with friends, in a safe and fun setting, and with their favourite characters.”

###

For the 5 on the Farm Festival, the ViacomCBS channel has hired York’s Wrapped Agency to handle cross channel brand communications, while Manchester’s CWM will deliver regional and lifestyle media relations.

“We are always looking for new ways to connect with our loyal audiences and bring them even more opportunities to engage with their favourite programmes,” said Ben Frow, Director of Programmes for ViacomCBS’s UK networks.

“What better way to celebrate the best of Yorkshire and our most-loved shows than by giving viewers the chance to meet all their favourite stars, take part in fun activities and spend the day at the home of This Week on the Farm.”

Last year, Channel 5 confirmed that Yorkshire drama, All Creatures Great and Small, would be returning for a second series.

Rob Nicholson said: “We had a real pinch yourself moment when Channel 5 approached us with the idea for this event.

“We are still blown away by how many people have been watching the show and we honestly cannot thank all our supporters and farm fans enough because it is undoubtedly due to their interest in the show that this has come about.

“Amanda is extremely popular nationally and her involvement can only make it more successful, and the Yorkshire vets are incredibly popular too.”

The working farm has been open to visitors since 1989, and people used to visit from around an hour’s drive away.

But now dedicated fans will travel the length of the country to see them.

Mr Nicholson said: “It makes us proud - we are a little farm in Barnsley and we feel we are punching above our weight in lots of ways. It is good for Barnsley and good for Yorkshire.”

Update (29/7) - ViacomCBS U.K. has announced that Lindeman’s Wines and outdoor clothing and camping company GO Outdoor will sponsor Channel 5’s inaugural 5 on the Farm summer festival at Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire.

The festival is slated to have entertainment for all ages, including Ben Fogel from ‘New Lives in the Wild’, and Amanda Owen from 'Our Yorkshire Farm’. There will also be panels, workshops and live demonstrations for a total of more than 70 hours of live entertainment throughout the weekend.

“ViacomCBS U.K. is uniquely positioned to cater to all ages, from families with young children to hard-to-reach teenagers and young people,” says Virginia Monaghan, vice president, Events & Experiences, ViacomCBS Networks U.K. & Ireland. “We’re looking forward to working with Lindeman’s Wines, GO Outdoors and Parkdean to safely entertain British holidaymakers and festival fans through our branded events across the U.K.!”

Sponsors for the festival include Lindeman’s Wines and GO Outdoors, and both will have an increased presence at the festival, with booths and activities for festival goers, with the former having a mural dedicated to its carbon neutral presence.

Along with the festival, ViacomCBS U.K. has also partnered with Parkdean Resorts to ViacomCBS content from MTV (including MTV Weekender), Nickelodeon (Paw Patrol and SpongeBob SquarePants and Milkshake! (Milkshake! Mornings) to vacationers at 40 of their resorts.
