It's the first day of the summer holidays and what better way to celebrate the end of school than a beach party? There'll be jam tarts, buns, apples, cheese sandwiches, pizza, ice cream, orange juice, oh, and something else, too - an extra strong, industrial strength, elephant-proof bouncy castle for a very special guest! Join Eddie the Elephant and Jackie as they head for Bakewell Beach, the home of the legendary pirate, Henry Slade.

Jackie is celebrating a birthday with her friends and family in the garden. It's a lovely day; the table is piled high with jelly, iced buns, sausage rolls, ham and cheese sandwiches, chicken nuggets and orange juice. There's a paddling pool, a slide, a big trampoline, oh, and something else, too - a rather unusual guest!!! Step inside and come and join the party!
