The perfect place to celebrate this birthday is at Beanotown, a recreation of the fictional home of Dennis and the gang featuring a whole host of fun activities to see and do.

We would love the chance to browse the Beanotown library, imagine the wealth of comic strips you'd have access to! And the cafe featuring jam and cheese toasties, pickle and Marmite toasties, shark infested custard and rice crispie cakes with added snap, crackle and poop probably has to be seen to be believed.
