A SPECIAL BBC live event is heading for Bournemouth this weekend after plans to visit the Isle of Wight were scuppered by the weather.

Blue Peter’s Big Olympic Tour will be at Kings Park from 10am until 4pm on Saturday and there will also be a live programme being broadcast on CBBC at 9am.

Now they hope local children will apply for tickets to take part in the live event. Tickets are not needed for the remainder of the day.

The roadshow is aimed at children between the ages of six and 12 and gives an insight into the Olympics.
