A spokesperson for the BBC said: "The episode features the Rabbits busy preparing for the Carrot Solstice, the day when the sun is at its highest and they gather round Carrot Henge to celebrate the glory of this humble vegetable.
"Trouble is, the Rabbits need to go and get ready for the festivities – but who will look after the carrots?
"The Squirrels volunteer, and off the Rabbits go. Then, disaster strikes. Worm pops up and eats part of Carrot Henge.It will kick off the fifth season of the successful kids show. (Image: BBC)
"Will Duggee fix the Henge in time, or will Carrot Solstice be ruined?"
Liz Randall, Hey Duggee Executive Producer at BBC Studios, said: “We are very proud and thrilled to present this very special new episode of Hey Duggee just after the Summer Solstice and alongside Glastonbury Festival.
"This is such a fun way for parents to introduce these events to their children and for fans to celebrate the summer with Duggee and the Squirrels!”
