Stitch Lands in London: Step Inside the ‘Crate of Mischief’ for One Weekend Only
April 2025, London: London, get ready - an intergalactic visitor is bringing mischief to the capital this May! To celebrate Disney’s latest Lilo & Stitch product offerings across toys, collectibles, home, and fashion ahead of the theatrical film release, everyone’s favourite renegade alien is making his way to London and he’s bringing a very special delivery with him.
For one weekend only, fans are invited to visit Lilo & Stitch: Crate of Mischief; a free, immersive pop-up experience at Battersea Power Station. The Crate of Mischief will be open to the public from Friday 16th May to Sunday 18th May 2025. Inside a giant pineapple crate, Stitch has recreated a little slice of home (with a London twist), packed with interactive games, playful photo moments and mischievous surprises.
Inside the Crate of Mischief, guests can explore a series of interactive zones that bring Stitch’s personality to life, including:
Create Your Ohana Postcard: Stitch wants to send a postcard back to Hawai’i but he needs your help designing it. Guests use magnetic props and playful backdrops to build their own postcard scene, ready to pose for a photo.
The Mischief Meter: Are you mischievous enough to tempt Stitch to take a photograph with you? Use the interactive Stitch Cam and fill the Mischief Meter to the max by trying to make Stitch laugh. If you succeed, Stitch may even join you for a virtual selfie which will be printed for you to take away.
Control Room: Explore the latest products available from Smyths, Amazon, Next, The Disney Store and more with QR codes to allow fans to shop their favourite products on the spot. There will be opportunities to win special product prizes and bundles for lucky guests throughout the day.
Guests can expect the full Lilo & Stitch: Crate of Mischief experience to take 10-15 minutes in total. Outside the Crate of Mischief, guests can enjoy delicious treats from cupcake and cake brand Lola’s, as well as try their hand at a free game of the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game, a fan favourite that’s quickly become a sensation.
As part of the fun, fans can immerse themselves in the mischief of Lilo & Stitch with a selection of the new licensed products, including an innovative live-action-inspired product assortment from Just Play and Simba Toys alongside classic Stitch products across multiple categories – from toys and collectibles to apparel, accessories, pet products, travel, and home – more information and imagery can be found here.
Angela Affinita, Director of Brand Marketing, Disney Consumer Products, EMEA, said: “Lilo & Stitch is a story that’s captured hearts for over two decades, blending mischief, friendship and ‘Ohana. We have seen a huge surge in popularity for our Stitch consumer products, which has led to everything from plush, t-shirts, onesies, accessories, homeware, games, puzzles and more. With the live action reimagining of the 2002 film, we’re expecting Stitch-mania! The Crate of Mischief brings Stitch’s playful energy to life for fans in a way that’s bold, interactive, and right in the heart of London. Fans can also experience more Stitch fun in retailers across the UK.”
Primark, an official studio partner for the live-action film release, will launch its biggest ever Stitch collection to date. The collection will cover womenswear, menswear, and kidswear, as well as a range of beauty must-haves and accessories. In addition, Primark Cafe with Disney Stitch will return across seven UK sites with a Hawaiian-inspired menu.
