Couch potato

Don't be a couch potato-celebrate spuds!

Spectaular Spud Day

Join in with BBC Coventry & Warwickshire’s Spectacular Spud Day where we will be celebrating the humble potato.

There will be plenty of fun on Friday, 15 February at BBC Coventry & Warwickshire as we celebrate the life of the potato.

We will be exploring over 101 uses for a potato, national chip week and getting crafty with potatoes in our Open Centre. 

Get hands on with potatoes

Join us in the BBC Coventry & Warwickshire Open Centre from 10am – 12pm and make your own real Mr Potato Head or create a card using potato stamps.

Fish and Chips

Do you like your spuds with fish?

Join in the Potato Olympics 12pm – 1pm

Are you tough enough to take part in BBC Coventry & Warwickshire’s Potato Games? Fun for all the family, we’ll be holding our very own Olympics, which includes:

  • Potato mash-off
  • Potato and Spoon Race
  • Potato bowling

Potato retail therapy

Jane Vickers will be standing in for Annie Othen while she's on holiday, but Friday still means retail therapy day - and on 15 February it will involve testing mashers, peelers and more potato products out in the Open Centre from 12pm.

Stay tuned to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire throughout the day for more potato madness.... or perhaps that should be potato mashness?!

Remember the quote: "Potatoes have eyes but no mouth. Let's give the potato a voice"!
