Did you know that one of the world’s most famous and impressive stadiums is right here in the UK? So much more than just a place to see football, London's Wembley Stadium is renowned the world over for its concerts, construction and capacity - to mention just a few things. <h2 data-header-link="1. One Of The Largest Stadiums In Europe">1. One of the largest stadiums in Europe</h2><div></div>The original Wembley stadium was actually demolished in 2002 and the current stadium is its replacement. Rebuilt and reopened in 2007, the new Wembley Stadium is a masterpiece of modern construction.&nbsp;For starters, Wembley Stadium's capacity is a massive 90,000 seats, making it the largest stadium in the UK. It’s also the second largest in Europe - only Camp Nou in Barcelona is larger, with 99,354 seats. Tours run most days, which means you can experience everything this epic stadium has to offer up close, without the crowds!‍<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5ec267168409130ae5a02c91-44457366680-a3503a6867-z.jpeg" width="640" height="420" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5ec267168409130ae5a02c91-44457366680-a3503a6867-z.jpeg 238w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5ec267168409130ae5a02c91-44457366680-a3503a6867-z.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/5ec267168409130ae5a02c91-44457366680-a3503a6867-z.jpeg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px"></div></figure>‍ ‍<h2 data-header-link="2. A Remarkable Landmark - With A LOT Of Loos!">2. A remarkable landmark - with a LOT of loos! </h2>Such a massive stadium isn’t something you can easily get around via stairs alone, so there are 400m of escalators throughout the whole place. And considering how many people the stadium holds, is it any wonder that it also has more toilets than any other venue in the world? There are 2,618 of them, to be precise!&nbsp;So what’s the cost of all this marvellous structural work? Around £1.17 billion in today’s money, making it one of the most expensive stadiums ever built.&nbsp;<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5ec267168409139f69a02c8f-45550801094-52e7dd5284-z.jpeg" width="640" height="427" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5ec267168409139f69a02c8f-45550801094-52e7dd5284-z.jpeg 234w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5ec267168409139f69a02c8f-45550801094-52e7dd5284-z.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/5ec267168409139f69a02c8f-45550801094-52e7dd5284-z.jpeg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px"></div></figure><h2 data-header-link="3. Everyone Under One (gigantic) Roof">3. Everyone under one (gigantic) roof </h2>We don’t quite have the same weather enjoyed by Barcelona's Camp Nou, and that’s why Wembley’s roof has to be extra-extraordinary. It has two sections that can slide out to cover the east and west ends of the stadium whenever needed. This comes in really handy when it rains, but it can also let the sunshine in so that the grass on the pitch can stay nice and healthy. The roof hasn’t just been designed to be practical - it’s also a landmark thanks to the huge Wembley Arch, which stands 134m tall and holds more than 75% of the weight of the whole roof. You can often even see it from the air if you're flying in or out of London!<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5ec26716840913157fa02c90-39089786375-9349b35315-z.jpeg" width="639" height="426" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5ec26716840913157fa02c90-39089786375-9349b35315-z.jpeg 234w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5ec26716840913157fa02c90-39089786375-9349b35315-z.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/5ec26716840913157fa02c90-39089786375-9349b35315-z.jpeg 639w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px"></div></figure>‍<h2 data-header-link="4. When Is Football Not Football? When It’s American">4. When is football not football? When it’s American </h2>Football is probably the activity that Wembley Stadium is best known for, but British-style soccer isn’t the only version of the game that goes down here.&nbsp;In fact, American football has also found a home at Wembley Stadium too. The old Wembley Stadium hosted a whole eight National Football League exhibition games between 1986 and 1993, and has continued to host NFL games since it was rebuilt too.&nbsp;American football team the Jacksonville Jaguars have been tenants in the stadium since 2013, hosting games there regularly, and they’ve got a contract to carry on doing that until at least 2020.<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5ec2671684091316daa02c92-39957085832-7077d66747-z.jpeg" width="520" height="390" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5ec2671684091316daa02c92-39957085832-7077d66747-z.jpeg 208w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5ec2671684091316daa02c92-39957085832-7077d66747-z.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/5ec2671684091316daa02c92-39957085832-7077d66747-z.jpeg 520w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px"></div></figure>‍ <h2 data-header-link="5. Who’s Warbling At Wembley?">5. Who’s warbling at Wembley?</h2>Wembley Stadium isn’t just for sports fans. In fact, it was built to host entertainment of all kinds, giving lots of different people the opportunity to go and see something there. When it’s not being used for sport, it’s often used for huge music concerts. When that happens, there are special covers that come out to protect the pitch from the many thousands of people standing on it (and jumping, skipping and dancing on it). Among the first bands to play at the newly built Wembley version 2.0 were Muse, who were also the first band to sell it out completely. It’s also played host to massive rock and pop acts including Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Oasis.&nbsp;The annual Capital FM Summertime Ball, which was previously held in Hyde Park and in the Arsenal Emirates Stadium, now takes place at Wembley Stadium instead. This is a big deal for the five-hour multi-artist event, because it means almost double the number of people now get to see it in its new massive setting.<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5ec267168409137a1da02c8e-44457366960-429840391a-z.jpeg" width="639" height="428" loading="lazy" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5ec267168409137a1da02c8e-44457366960-429840391a-z.jpeg 233w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5ec267168409137a1da02c8e-44457366960-429840391a-z.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/5ec267168409137a1da02c8e-44457366960-429840391a-z.jpeg 639w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px"></div></figure>

Yet despite his pet crocs, sports cars and £100,000 weekly pocket money, he doesn't have a single friend. Throughout Billionaire Boy Live, we get to understand that having money isn’t everything as we learn that despite his riches, Joe Spud remains largely unhappy. As the show progresses we see that there are plenty of other sources of happiness and understand that things such as friendship, love and even toilet roll (yes!) can put bigger smiles on faces than any amount of money can!<h2 data-header-link="2. Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover">2. Don’t judge a book by its cover</h2>A common theme throughout most of Walliams’ superb tales is not to judge a book by its cover. As Billionaire Boy Live demonstrates, Joe Spud might appear happy on the surface but deep down we come to realise that he’s in fact not. Joe Spud serves as a reminder for youngsters that although we might perceive others as confident or happy or ‘the best’, that sometimes it takes more than looking at the outside to get to truly know someone. <figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:800px"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg" alt="billionaire boy cheap tickets for theatre london for kids" width="800" height="522" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/thumbnail_5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 239w,https://media.kidadl.com/small_5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/medium_5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 750w,https://media.kidadl.com/5da3138b6bbf3f52be00259b-billionaire-boy-on-stage-live.jpeg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px" loading="lazy"></div></figure><h2 data-header-link="3.

How To Tackle Bullying">4.

Although Joe attempts to befriend his peers by offering them money, ultimately, he struggles to gain any real friendships. Likewise, it can’t buy good grades or a happy family, leading Joe to realise that money isn’t everything and that you can’t just buy the good things in life.

At the heart of Billionaire Boy is a story about a boy searching for friendship, learning that having money isn’t everything, and that the most valuable things in life are usually things that can’t be bought. It's a truly special show that'll touch your hearts, put a smile on your face and leave you completely stunned.

Do you know where to find shark-eating monkeys, the collective noun for lobsters, or the seaweed that’s really an animal? As everyone heads off to the beach, here are 21 facts that’ll make your kids think about the seashore in a different way. None of them are fishy. <h2 data-header-link="Facts About Beach Animals">Facts About Beach Animals</h2>1. Jellyfish, starfish, cuttlefish, crayfish and shellfish are all poorly named. None of these are fish, nor remotely related to fish. (And some would argue that there’s actually no such thing as fish at a genetic level. It’s a catch-all term for a widely varied group of animals.)&nbsp;2. Do an image search for ‘greater horn wrack’. If you live around the northern Atlantic (USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, etc.) you may have seen colonies of this seaweed in the shallows. Only, it isn’t seaweed. Flustra foliacea, to give it the Latin name, is actually bryozoa - part of the animal kingdom, despite looking and smelling like seaweed!3. Speaking of which, seaweed is not a plant, as often assumed, but an algae. Seaweed and other algae are responsible for most of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere. Thank the oceans for letting you breathe.4. Crabs are famous for walking sideways. Many, however, can also walk forwards and backwards, though the sideways scuttle is usually preferred.5. Head to a beach in southern Africa and you might see a startling sight: monkeys that eat sharks! Chacma baboons have been known to patrol the shallows in search of ‘mermaid’s purses’, in other words, shark eggs, which they then devour.6. The barnacle is named after the barnacle goose, and not the other way round. In medieval times, people believed that the birds hatched from the shelled creatures we now call barnacles.&nbsp;7. On a related note, barnacles are often assumed to be molluscs, like clams, limpets and mussels. They are more properly defined as crustaceans, though, and so have more in common with lobsters and shrimp.8. Some collective nouns for you. A gulp of cormorants; a cast of crabs; a pod of dolphins; a herd of dugong; a bed of eels (or oysters); a colony of gulls; an army of herring; a bloom of jellyfish; a deceit of lapwings; a risk of lobsters; a consortium of octopuses; a fling of sandpipers; a herd of seals; a shiver of sharks; a bale of turtles.9. Now for a fictional beach fact. In the film Jaws, the seaside resort of Amity Island is terrorised by a great white shark. The toothy menace is not seen properly until the 77th minute, and only gets a couple of minutes’ screen time in the whole film. The paucity is partly down to Spielberg’s masterful ratcheting of suspense, but the truth is that the film-makers encountered numerous technical problems with the shark model. Hence, it was rarely seen.10. Partly thanks to Jaws, young children often get a bit nervous of sharks when paddling in the sea. Yet the real killer of the oceans is the jellyfish. About 20 times as many people die from jellyfish stings as from shark attacks. It’s still very rare though!11. You may have read that fish were the first creatures to leave the ocean and venture onto beaches in search of food, eventually evolving into amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals… and humans. The second bit is true, but fish were not the first to leave the ocean. The insects were already there, having evolved from centipede-like creatures that crawled out of the sea 155 million years before the fish gave it a go.12. Since then, fish have travelled much further. The first fish in space was a mummichog, which launched in 1973 to the US Skylab space station. Jellyfish had to wait until 1991 to reach the final frontier.<figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-fullwidth" style="max-width:1000px"><div><img src="https://media.kidadl.com/60ffd97d530eaf6c7ed0318a-read-on-for-some-interesting-beach-animal-facts.jpeg" loading="lazy" alt="Read on for some interesting beach animal facts" width="1000" height="557" srcset="https://media.kidadl.com/small_60ffd97d530eaf6c7ed0318a-read-on-for-some-interesting-beach-animal-facts.jpeg 500w,https://media.kidadl.com/medium_60ffd97d530eaf6c7ed0318a-read-on-for-some-interesting-beach-animal-facts.jpeg 750w,https://media.kidadl.com/60ffd97d530eaf6c7ed0318a-read-on-for-some-interesting-beach-animal-facts.jpeg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 620px"></div></figure><h2 data-header-link="Facts About The Sea">Facts About The Sea</h2>13. Have you ever stopped to think about what causes high and low tides? It’s both simple and complex. In basic terms, the oceans of the Earth feel a gravitational attraction to the moon and move accordingly. But the pattern of high and low tide is complicated. You don’t always see high tide when the moon is directly overhead. The rise and fall is affected by many factors, including varying ocean depth, the presence of land masses, and the fact that the Earth is not a perfect sphere. And then there’s the sun...14. We’d still have tides, even if the moon suddenly disappeared. The sun also contributes to the rise and fall of sea level, though only about 46% as much as the much-closer moon.15. Most seas are partly or wholly surrounded by land - think of the Mediterranean or Caribbean, for example. The one exception is the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic. It has no land around its edges, but is instead defined by a circular current called the North Atlantic Gyre.<h2 data-header-link="Facts About Beaches">Facts About Beaches</h2>16. Have you ever wondered where all that sand came from? Most of it is the remains of rock that has eroded over many years into fine grains, usually of quartz.&nbsp;17. Tropical islands often lack sources of quartz. Their beaches are covered in a whiter sand derived from coral and the shells and skeletons of the animals that live there. Those tropical beaches may look beautiful, but you’re lying on the remains of millions of animals!18. The world’s tallest sandcastle was built in Denmark in 2021. Looking somewhat like the Disney fairytale castle, this epic construction measured over 21 metres tall and used 5,000 tonnes of sand. For comparison, the Tower of London reaches 27 metres.19. The <a href="https://kidadl.com/articles/around-the-world-in-16-sports">first recorded game of beach volleyball</a> took place in Hawaii in 1915. It’s one of two Olympic sports first documented on the islands, the other being surfing.20. The world’s busiest beach is thought to be Fujiazhuang in the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian. In peak season, some 40,000 people cram into a stretch just 500 metres long.21. The longest pleasure pier in the world can be found at Southend in England. It is over 2km long and even has its own railway.<h3>See Also</h3>The <a href="https://kidadl.com/articles/the-best-beach-hacks-every-parent-should-know">best beach hacks for parents</a><a href="https://kidadl.com/articles/24-things-that-happen-every-time-you-go-to-the-beach">24 things that happen every time you go to the beach</a><a href="https://www.kidadl.com/articles/bognor-skegness-ventnor-etymology-beach-resorts-names">Ventnor, Bognor, Skegness?
