Norwegian preschool brand, Little Grey Fergie heads to the UK

Norwegian preschool brand, Little Grey Fergie has secured a residency at Tatton Park’s rare breed working farm.

The brand has been a staple on Norway’s TV screens for over 25 years, with several TV series and movies, as well as 10 years of work in England with tours in 2015, 2016 and 2017, as well as filming in 2017.

Farmyard Stories – which owns the Little Grey Fergie concept – is working with brand development consultancy, bRAND-WARD to further grow the property.

Tatton Park – which is located in Cheshire – is managed and financed by Cheshire East Council on behalf of the National Trust. It offers a large annual children’s learning programme, as well as a Field to Fork story, educating families around farming life and demonstrating how food can sustainability go from ‘field to fork’.

Little Grey Fergie will be included as part of farm-oriented work towards children and schools, as well as entertainment via shows and performances also involving the character’s friends Clunky, Gramps, Daisy and Farmer George.

Little Grey Fergie – which is a Ferguson TE20 – launched on NRK, Norway’s public television, in 1998. Since then, it became a YouTube sensation viewed over 600 million times and a classic property in its home market, with a dedicated theme park, Fergieland at Kongeparken, numerous live shows, books and merchandise.
