Pretoria – They’re the Heeler sisters who’ve captured the hearts of families around the world, and now Bluey and Bingo are making an exclusive appearance in Pretoria, in association with PEP.
On Sunday, 26 April 2026, Woodlands Mall will host a meet-and-greet with the beloved animated pups free of charge.
Taking place at the Main Promotions Court (Entrance 4, behind the information desk), the event runs across two sessions: 10am to 12pm and 12:30pm to 2:30pm.
Queuing opens at 8am between Starbucks and Tsonga, so families are advised to arrive early.
Whether your little one is Team Bluey or Team Bingo, coming face-to-face with the six-year-old Blue Heeler and her four-year-old Red Heeler sister is the kind of memory that tends to outlast most school holidays.
Parents are welcome to photograph the moment on their own phones, with staff on hand to help.
Think of it as a tag-team operation: one adult holds the fort in the queue while the other takes the kids for a snack, a play, or if we are honest, a little guilt-free browsing. Snacks and beverages will be on sale in the queuing areas, prams are welcome.
The good news is that Woodlands has plenty to fill the wait or round off the day.
The outdoor kiddies’ play area, Restaurant Piazza, Fun Company, and Nu Metro cinemas are all on-site and ready to make it a proper family outing.
“We know how much South African families love Bluey, so bringing the Heeler sisters to Woodlands is something really special, and we’d love to share it with as many families as possible,” explains Barbara Perry, Marketing Manager at Woodlands Mall.
