Many childhood dreams came true when World Museum had a visit from Blue Peter !
The iconic CBBC show came to film a claw-some segment with the Living Centres team in May 2025 and to visit a few different spaces in the museum, including Bees: A Story of Survival and the dinosaur gallery.
Their Living Centres team were also instrumental in making the day go smoothly for the Blue Peter crew, and not just from behind the camera.
A massive shoutout to Ben Mitchell, Lead Curator (Living Centres) and Abigail Smith, Living Centres Assistant Curator who had a starring role alongside some of their aquarium residents, including their legendary lobster Marge and our jellyfish and baby axolotls.
The team showed the presenters what it takes to look after their creatures, including food prep and feeding. To top it all off, everyone involved got their very own Blue Peter badge. 🥳
You can catch the finished piece on BBC iPlayer. Keep your eyes peeled for some familiar faces (and fins).
