SOOTY INVITES YOU TO A WORLD PREMIERE!....IN GUISELEY !!
You are invited to a very special sneak preview of a new documentary, featuring the story behind Guiseley's favourite son, and his teddy bear puppet Sooty!!
Harry Corbett and his family lived locally in Guiseley for over 35 years, and is one of the towns most celebrated hero's!
His life story and the creation of SOOTY, is a tale that has never been properly told before.
This two hour documentary finally lifts the lid on many unknown aspects of his life, and for the very first time we find out the true story behind televisions favourite teddy bear!
With contributions by the people at the heart of the story, and with access to many previously unseen documents and photos, this is the definitive story that will forever overturn the existing narrative.
So if you want to find out how Sooty really got his name, ...what motivated Harry to get into television, ...and the reason why puppet dog Sweep squeaks, then this is the event for you.
Please join us on the Sat October 1st for the World Premiere of this very special story.

Harrys son (and Sooty's handler for 25 years) Matthew Corbett will be there, as will Sooty's current right hand man Richard Cadell,.
Also appearing will be Brenda Longman (the voice of Soo), and many others who are a part of this special story.
So if you grew up with Sooty (who didn't!!), are a fan of Sooty ( who isn't? ) and want to relive some happy memories of your childhood (who wouldn't) , ....then this is the event for you!
