PAW Patrol favourites Skye and Rubble delighted hundreds of young fans who were excited to meet them at Eastgate Shopping Centre.

The stars of the smash hit children’s TV show, which is aired on Nick. Jr, enthralled the crowd of youngsters and their parents when they made an appearance at the Basildon-based shopping centre throughout an action-packed day.

Youngsters also enjoyed making puppy masks and props at a free PAW Patrol inspired craft workshop at the event.

Eastgate centre manager Ian Clark said the event was well attended by crowds of animated children, who were clearly huge PAW Patrol fans.

He said: “It was great to see so many youngsters turn up to see Rubble and Skye.

“It’s always a pleasure to have the super pups visit Eastgate.”

Skye is a fearless, smart cockapoo always ready to fly into action in her helicopter or by using the wings in her Pup Pack.

Rubble is a playful English bulldog with a big appetite.

He is the construction pup of PAW Patrol and an excellent digger.

PAW Patrol follows the adventures of six rescue dogs, along with a tech-savvy boy named Ryder, as they work together to protect their community.
