Magical experience

I took my little boy as an early birthday treat and the experience was magical. He loved seeing his favourite characters and got excited when the pinky ponk flew overhead.
I recommend getting the goody bag- it’s good value for money.

Great show, kids loved it!

Lovely show, not too long for kids to loose interest. Loud and clear. Would definitely recommend. Staff in Eden Court were lovely and friendly aswell. Tickets a bit pricey for an hour show but glad we went for it.

Fabulous show

My self and my husband took our 18 month old to see the show at 1pm at the Belgrade.
We had such a good time and my daughter absolutely loved the show ! It was a perfect length as she was getting fidgety towards the end but was so excited when she saw each character!

Amazing!

We say Night Garden Live on stage and we’re absolutely blown away. They had our 2 year old absolutely gripped from start to finish. I love the way the lights aren’t fully dimmed to keep young children calm. The performance itself is so cleverly produced. Would thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic from start to finish

My little girl loves iggle piggle and his friends. The show didn't disappoint it was exactly like the TV programme and kept us entertained. Great to see all the characters come to life on stage and the pinky ponk was a lovely surprise. Didn't want it to end.

A must watch with your little ones!

We had such a pleasant experience and made some really wonderful memories. The venue was easy to get to. The car park was a stone’s throw away and not too expensive. The staff were friendly and helpful! Our seats were fab and I’d definitely recommend joining the early release lists! 55 minutes was long enough for the kids and I was a bit worried a...Read More

bout how I’d keep my little one still for that long but it went fast due to there being so much to look at and how magical it was! The pinky Ponk flying over was a personal favourite. Booster seats for the little ones were a great idea (although mine preferred to sit on my lap for the entirety) . It was a really well put together show and I’d definitely watch it again! Read Less

Did not disappoint! Great family show.

Really enjoyed it..was perfect for my two children (age 2 and 5). Would say it was just long enough to keep them entertained and they never got bored, they was singing and clapping along. We all had a great time. The highlight for me was the flying pinky ponk! We would love to come and see it again.

Magical

Took my three year old grandson as a birthday treat. It was his first experience of being in a theatre and seeing a live show and it was perfect. The lights were dimmed so the children weren’t scared and when their favourite characters came on stage she was magical I would definitely recommend.

Really good family morning

I took my 2.5yr old and I’m always a little hesitant about going to these things because he doesn’t usually sit still (like, ever) but he was engrossed pretty much the whole way through. Really well produced, the puppetry was really good and the icing on the cake was the Pinky Ponk flying out and over the audience. Perfect length for toddlers - lo...Read More
