An investigation has been launched after Internet hackers posted offensive messages on the Facebook page of one of Hampshire's most popular children's attractions.

Peppa Pig World's Facebook page has been targeted by unknown hackers who have posted a number of messages, spam links and pictures over the past 24 hours.

Staff from the attraction, based at Paulton's Park near Romsey, have been working with Facebook to track down the culprits, but admit they are no nearer to identifying the source of the messages.

Among the posts left on the website, which is liked by almost 140,000 parents and their children, were messages containing swear words and rude jokes.

Angry parents have demanded free tickets in compensation, with one saying: “Free day pass for everyone who has read this and lost trust in Peppa Pig's World?”

In a statement, Peppa Pig World said: “Unfortunately the Peppa Pig World Facebook page has been hacked by an unknown source.

“We are currently working with Facebook and doing everything we can to resolve the issue, thank you for your continued understanding.

“Although we are not responsible for this we apologise for what is frustratingly out of our control.”

I love the way some desperate parents try to get something for nothing. No doubt it's the same parents who openly swear in front of their children.

Can we have some examples of the posts please? Not that I find such puerile humour funny, but I think we need it to get a fuller picture of what's happening.

It was turd. Madame_Furie alerted me to Porkgate last week and there wasn't really anything by the time I eventually arrived - it had been mostly cleaned up. Just some really rubbish images of text kind of things, like those hilarious autocorrect images.

Oh for **** sake. Don't they **** realise swearing is all over the **** internet. Why demand free tickets to the park just by reading a few **** swear words, :lol:

Was the page actually "hacked" or was it just people writing rude stuff on their wall?

I don't know about hacked, but somebody was posting as Paultons - it wasn't just people on their wall.

Had similar cretins asking for free tickets for Alton Towers for the 'misunderstanding' about the EDL mongs spamming links for that Muslim-only tabloid story in The Sun from 2007.
