Pack up your swimming trunks, sun cream and a beach ball and follow Pip and her Dad to the ‘GREAT BRITISH SEASIDE’, for a hilarious, theatrical and interactive adventure-by-the-sea. The sun is out, so it must be time for an ice cream…just keep an eye out for those cheeky seagulls!
A brand-new show for 2026 Let’s Go To The Seaside! features a mix of interactive storytelling, exquisitely hand-crafted set design, delightful puppetry, music and sensory elements, this walkthrough adventure is perfect for children aged 2-8 to explore, play, create and interact with the hilarious and charming characters that they meet along the way. If you and your family love our magical in-house Christmas shows like ‘The Christmas Dragon’ and or our previous summer shows ‘Fairy Finders’ and 2025’s ‘Let’s Go Camping’ then you are in for a treat this summer holidays, as we once again team up with Scratch Built Productions for a fun-filled and interactive summertime family adventure.
