Warwick's MP has invited Boris Johnson to visit the new Zog Playland opening in the town this weekend.

The new tourist attraction, which opens at Warwick Castle on Sunday, has been "uniquely designed for Zog super fans" according to castle owner Merlin.

Speaking during PMQs in the House of Commons on Wednesday Labour MP for Warwick and Leamington Matt Western said the Prime Minister was welcome to come to Warwickshire to give it a try.

"Given the Prime Minister's preferences for both fantasy castles and Peppa Pig, he is very welcome to come and visit Zog Playland at Warwick Castle," he said to the amusement of members.

Mr Western's Peppa Pig jibe referred to the PM's speech to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) in South Shields last November.

Having already fumbled through his notes earlier in the speech Mr Johnson said: "I have been, as we all must, to Peppa Pig World. I was a bit hazy about what I would find at Peppa Pig World, but I loved it. Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place."

Explaining his comments further Mr Western said in a tweet: "Despite receiving no answer to any of my three consecutive PMQs, I do hope the Prime Minister – given his is partial to fantasy castles and Peppa Pig – will consider my invitation to Zog Playland at Warwick Castle this recess."

Inspired by Julia Donaldson's Zog and the Flying Doctors, Warwick Castle hosted the Zog Quest for the Golden Star interactive trail last spring.

Returning in 2022 the trail will return from April 9 alongside the new playland which will include zip wires, tunnels swings, colourful dragons and slides.

Mr Western was also one of 215 MPs to vote in favour of extending the "pill by post" abortion service on Wednesday. Whereas Kenilworth and Southam MP Jeremy Wright was not among the 72 Tories to vote against his party.
