Disney On Ice
From the award-winning animated films to the endless array of Disney merchandise, Disney has captured the imaginations of children from around the world. So, what could be more exciting than seeing your children’s favourite Disney characters come to life… on ice?
Disney On Ice has enthralled audiences around the globe and now celebrates its 100 year anniversary with Disney On Ice: 100 Years of Magic will show at the Wembley Area in London from 2nd April until 5th April. Following this, another performance, Disney On Ice presents Magic Ice Festival, will also be showing at the Birmingham Resorts World Arena, The SSE Hydro in Glasgow and in many other UK cities later in the summer months. Featuring over 50 favourite Disney characters, including the likes of Woody, Donald Duck, Moana and Elsa gliding around the ice rink, there really is nothing more magical than the frosty, enchanting world of Disney on ice.
In the Night Garden
There is no doubt that the BBC TV show in the Night Garden has become something of a global phenomenon. Although one of the show’s favourite characters, Iggle Piggle, saying “Igglepiggle iggle-ogg” may seem like utter nonsense to us adults, children are hypnotised by the surreal, magical world of In The Night Garden, which has sadly stopped running on television. Yet luckily for us, In The Night Garden is embarking on an extensive UK tour as a live stage production!
In the live stage production, Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, MakkaPakka and all their friends have a fun-filled day in the Night Garden when the Amazing Flying Pinky Ponk pays them a visit. With life sized costumes, impressive puppetry and mesmerising music, In the Night Garden will undoubtedly leave huge smiles on your children’s faces. Showing at the New Oxford Theatre on the 9th and 10th May, the Alexandra on the 27th and 28th June and in many other UK cities, in the Night Garden is not to be missed!
Paw Patrol
Based on the highly successful animated Nickelodeon TV show, Paw Patrol Live brings the much-loved crew of pups to life on stage in their new show, Race To The Rescue! The Paw Patrol, a group of search and rescue dogs who protect the shoreside community of Adventure Bay, are on a special mission which involves the Great Adventure Bay Race, alongside their loyal leader, Ryder. Whether your children are avid Paw Patrol fans or simply dog lovers, the life-sized dog puppets in Paw Patrol will undoubtedly provide a captivating, unforgettable experience for the entire family to enjoy!
