The Churchill mascot will appear in a weekly stage performance, called ‘Party Time', at five Pontin's sites across the UK, including Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, and Camber Sands in Sussex. Performances will run from this month until October.

The Churchill dog will share the stage with celebrities such as Bobby Davro, and ‘X Factor' contestants Same Difference and Eoghan Quigg.  Previous Pontin's Bluecoats include Shane Richie, Brian Conley, Bradley Walsh and Lee Mack.
