Moshi fans delighted in meeting their favourite fury friends during the bank holiday weekend event, ‘Jolly Day Out’ at Hampton Court Green.
Fans were treated to various Moshi delights at the dedicated Moshi Monsters Marquee including, glitter tattoos, colouring activities, online games, meet-and-greets with Katsuma – and a very special visit from Moshling starlet, Lady Goo Goo (who made her first ever public appearance).
The turnout was monstrous and a fantastic time was had by all :)
