BOLTON youngsters were able to meet up with one of their favourite characters Bea Spells a Lot at the weekend.

The youngsters met with Bea, at The Entertainer toy store, at Market Place Shopping Centre, where she introduced them to her pet owl. Bea is reputed to be the smartest and most well-read resident of Lalaloopsy Land.
