I just wanted to say what a fantastic production this was. I dont usually manage to get down to writing reviews but I just could not let this pass. My 2 year old son who never sits still, sat laughing and screaming out the characters' names and songs and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Fantastic! Truly fantastic! The goody bag was great. The 'meet a character' photographs could not be better, the staff could not have been more helpful and nice. All in all a superb evening. Well done and THANK YOU.

A great time had by all. Ticket price is worth it just to see your little ones face, my daughter loved it, although sovernirs were limited and expensive. Very friendly staff and show dome is a great space. Stick with standard tickets just get there early to be near the front.

I'd truly like to applaud every single person responsible for this show, congrats it's simply brilliantly captivating!.............was truly looking forward to it for the benefit of my 2yr old son Rashid who loves the series 'in the night garden' and was not disappointed. He never once took his eye off the stage.
Meeting the characters: amazing, Rashid was bewildered at first, he could not believe his eyes, 'iggle piggle' and 'daisy doo' as he calls her :-), right there in front of him, but he soon settled and loved the experience (hugs and kisses all round). Characters brilliantly executed by the individuals assigned. Well done!
Goody bag: no tatter here, quality goodies!
buggy: well stored, easy to collect no problems.
Staff and everybody involved at the show dome were pleasant, helpful, polite could not do enough to make your experience a fun day out for the family.
We saw the Ninky Nonk show, i must book for the Pinky Ponk!! -
Couldn't ask for more for my kids to see ! We are due a baby in jan next year so we will back just with an extra buba can't wait !!!

A wonderful show and very well thought out production. My 2 year old boy was thoroughly mesmerized and sat glued to his seat - aside from when he was dancing along to all his favourite characters! His reaction to seeing Makka Pakka live on stage was amazing!
I took him to see both shows, the first one we had premium front row seats and for the second show we had standard seats. In both cases we had a wonderful, unobstructed view of the stage. I would recommend standard tickets, then just queue early so you're in the front row.
The venue was clean and perfectly adapted for toddlers, and the staff were incredibly nice. Bring your child's own toys with them to the show as souvenirs were very overpriced, and of course your child will want them all! -
I took my 17 month old daughter and my 8 year old daughter (she wanted to be involved!) along to the show. It was a very, very hot day, so the cool showdome was much appreciated. We had standard tickets, which were very good, and my little one danced around and really enjoyed it. I thought the goody bag was good value for money and the staff were very happy and welcoming. We had a meet and greet with IgglePiggle, this went very smoothly, both girls loved it! and the staff member was helpful and friendly. It was a fantastic treat for my little girl and I will definitely be going again next year, and recommending it to others!

What a great show, enjoyed by both Mum and Child (2 years old). The production was excellent, loved the whole thing. I didn't love the price though, too expensive for a 1 hour show. There was a real feeling that this was all about making money and loads of it, from the goody bag to the Meet a Character option...

What a Magical Day!
Our 17 month old little boy loved it - he danced, clapped and gasped at all the characters!
He LOVED it! (and so did mum and dad watching his little face)
Great Location, good parking (right opposite) and truly well organised.
Would Highly Recommend to other families to visit.
Lovely day out - wish we could do it all again! -
My husband and I took our 22 month old daughter and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable time. It was lovely watching her reaction as the characters came on and it captured her attention for the entire show. All staff were very polite and the venue very organised. My only slight complaint is that it is quite expensive for a relatively short show, but then again, I don't think that many small children would concentrate for a longer show! I agree that the balloons are pricey, but they last a long time.
-
My 2 year old daughter enjoyed every moment of the show. Even though we had standard seats, we were very close to the stage. We loved it and would recommend it to everyone with children who are fans of Iggle Piggle and friends.

My son & I took my 3 year old Grandson Ollie to see the show. We were met by lovely staff at the entrance who tried to engage in a conversation with Ollie, but he is very shy and did not want to say "hello". The show was fantastic and held Ollie's attention the whole time, we had a wonderful time . The staging, the characters the lighting was great.
Ollie at the end kept saying "another 5 minutes please ".
We booked to see Iggle Piggle , but when it came to his turn, he was extremely shy, the Photographer and Iggle Piggle tried their best with him, but he was so shy that it reduced him to tears. He didn't get his photo taken but it wasn't through not trying - we didn't want him getting more upset so we left with no photo.
Only one negative thing was that we thought that the balloons at £8.00 was very expensive, I only had one child to buy for , so I felt for families with 2 or more. I don't think that charging £8.00 could be justified.
On the whole a fantastic day - thank you. -
We spent £100 on 4 tickets, but having not realised that the goody bag was part of the show, failed to spend a further £40 on the required goody bags. My heart sank when my almost 3 year old started asking for the light up character windmill that most of the other children had. The goody bag contents are not used interactively in the show but almost everyone is holding a windmill.
I think it’s disgusting to design a children’s show so as to require everyone to spend another £20 per child on a goody bag. Had we bought one goody bag only, we would have spent the show moderating the squabbling for the one windmill! We could have got away with buying 2 windmills at a cost of £12 but there was no way of knowing this in advance of the show.
My 18 month old seemed to really enjoy the show but the 2 year old (who is in fairness is loosing interest in the programme a bit) was not impressed and was disappointed that he didn’t see the ha hoos. They are briefly projected on the ceiling/above the stage and he missed it (probably distracted by windmills) as did my partner (probably distracted by his disappointed toddler). It was ok but I’ve seen far more engaging children’s productions.
Have to say the whole show was ruined for me by a toddler disappointed not to have the merchandise that had been pushed on us. I had expected some pressure to purchase at the end of the show but not to be debating whether to leave to shop mid show!

We just loved it. It was so great to see Georgies face - at just 18 months old! Not the cheapest for a family but worth every penny. So professionally done.
-
Excellent Show, throughly enjoyed it, worth every penny, however for the average family a little overpriced. Expected the set to be larger, however great lighting, overall ambience.
However Babies from 0-1 year should be free or discounted as they end up sitting on the parents lap all the way through, not really considered a seat. Seats not throughly comfortable as kids end up kicking your back all the way through and you have nothing to lean against, however location of premier seats are right in the front row.
Photographic session was hurried and not even 3 mins, however lovely photo at the end of it.
However some of the merchandise, overpriced. Ballons £8!
Great day otherwise, bring your own refreshments.
Kids loved it and so did we...
Lower your prices and more of us would go more often, and more people on lower incomes could enjoy it too.
Worth going to.

Good show for the children but the whole sales process and cost is utterly exploitative of parents and carers. The BBC should be ashamed to be associated with this.
-
Amazing experience for Grandsons 14 months and nearly 3. I worried that 14 month old may be too young but he LOVED it! Bopping and clapping and soooo excited to see his favourite characters from the show. Well organised queues, immaculate toilet facilities and seating arrangements are perfect for little ones. Grandma and Mummy enjoyed it too!

This was our second time, having taken our daughter (now 2 1/2) last year as well. On both occasions we have been really impressed by the quality of the performance (it is a genuine performance and not a marketing exercise!) and the value for money. Our daughter absolutely loved it both times and the option to meet a character is definitely worth the extra money, her face when she got to give Iggle Piggle was magical.
Also the new goody bag is a great idea and very good value for money, the contents were better than we were expecting and well worth the £20! It was also handy for preventing any I wants from the gift shop after the show.
Would definitely recommend this particularly for grandparents looking for a special treat that doesn't involve too much running around. -
An amazing experience. As the website illustrates, everything is set up for families and young children to make your experience as memorable as your childs. Our 3 year old has not stopped asking to go again. We paid the extra to meet Igglepiggle after the show, to see the look on your child's face is well worth £15 especially as you get a lovely photo as a souvenir to take home included in the price. We will be recommending this show to all our friends.

Great show - just the right length of time for little ones - at 18 months old it was a perfect outing for our little boy. Top marks all round. Easy to park - great venue



We took our 18mth old daughter today and words cannot describe the feeling that it gave my wife and I to see the joy on our daughters face from start to finish. An amazing family experience that I would definately recommend and see again. I just wish I was a toddler again to see the magic through their eyes!
