The One Show is in Swansea

Nov. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- BBC’s ‘The One Show’ will be broadcasting a ‘Children In Need’ special stunt within the main show, LIVE from Swansea’s Waterfront Winterland next Thursday (19 November), between 7pm and 7.30pm, when presenter Adrian Chiles will be trying to avoid being ‘gunged’ by Pudsey and some young local helpers.

Presenters of the prime time BBC TV show have been head to head all week with viewers pledging to see which presenter will be gunged or soaked with wet sponges.  

Swansea Council is delighted that Waterfront Winterland is to host the segment.  Frances Jenkins, Strategic Manager for Tourism, Marketing and Events at Swansea Council said,” Waterfront Winterland is a fantastic event and a real landmark in Swansea’s festive celebrations.  We are thrilled to help the One Show raise money for Children in Need and want to invite local children to the event on Thursday to watch and help Adrian Childs win his challenge.  We’re hoping for a great turnout.”

Waterfront Winterland opened on Sunday for the fourth year.  Swansea’s favourite Christmas attraction is back in the grounds of the National Waterfront Museum with regular highlights including ice skating, the Admiral Giant Wheel, Santa’s Grotto, festive funfair, live entertainment and food.  New additions to the event include Rocky’s Rink – Wales’ only children’s ice rink, an undercover spectator area and a new Chair-o-Plane ride.
