Beano is coming to the Eden Project‘s biomes this summer, with visitors attempting to save the planet alongside Dennis, Gnasher and Minnie.
From 23 July through 4 September, guests at the Eden Project in Cornwall will experience an “action-packed programme loaded with mischief and mayhem”, according to a release.
Visitors will team up with Beano characters to fight climate change and defeat the dreaded CO2-Zilla. Using an exclusive, bespoke Beano comic strip as a guide, they will discover various missions across the Eden Project.
There will be games, crafts and activities that explore climate change, with guests learning how to reduce carbon dioxide. For example, in CO2-Zilla’s emissions lair, guests will work together to solve puzzles and bring CO2 levels down.
In another game, families will attempt to stop cows releasing methane, and a third activity features challenges to help save pollinators and boost diversity.

“Storytelling is a part of our DNA at Eden and we believe stories have the power to bring people together and help make a difference in the world,” said Kate Francis, Eden’s living theatre producer.
“Beano has inspired and entertained people for over 80 years so we are thrilled to be working with them to tell the story of climate change in Eden’s usual fun, engaging and accessible way,” she added.
“We hope families visiting us this summer will have a wonderful day making exciting memories together and be inspired along the way to help protect our amazing planet Earth.”
Earlier this year, the Eden Project partnered with PlayStation to create a 12-acre wildflower habitat in Morecambe ahead of the launch of Eden Project North.
Eden Project North, which will reimagine Morecambe a seaside resort for the 21st century, has been granted planning permission by Lancaster City Council.
Eden is also creating a ‘green spine’ through the centre of Canary Wharf with parks, gardens, bridges, boardwalks and floating pontoons.
