Select from the following ELEVEN SHOWS:
LAUGH YOUR SOCKS OFF!
Help! The Ringmaster’s Magic Hat has escaped! With a sprinkle of its meddling magic, the Circus Show is now a Topsy Turvy Big Top! The Lion has tamed the Lion Tamer, the Clown is Cranky, the Strong Man has lost his Super Strength, even the Magic Rabbit is a hot cross bunny! It’s a super silly comedy circus! (Available from May 2026)
SILLY SUPERHEROES!
At the Flying High Superhero Academy, Captain Clumsy Pants has a new mission: defeat Wanda the Wicked Wand! Join him on a cape-tripping adventure, and help him save the day!
DREADFUL DRAGONS!
King Cranky Pants’ court is in an uproar! Sir Lee, his famous Knight, has disappeared and a fierce fire breathing dragon is heading straight toward his castle! He needs a hero to save the day!
ONCE UPON A TIME…
…the fairytale characters were feeling out of sorts! Cinderella’s toes have blisters, the Dragon is suffering from a sore throat, and the Big Bad Wolf has burnt his bottom! We need you to help Humpty Dumpty MD cure the characters or we might never see our favourite fairytales come to life again! (Available from May 2026)
THE SECRET LIFE OF TOYS! 
Old Ted and his friends are the Toy Box favourites. But new toys with flashing lights and electronic sounds have arrived! Who will be the most popular? What’s your favourite toy? Let’s find out in this Great Toy Contest! Time to play! (Available from May 2026)
BOOK WEEK 2026!
Drum roll, please…. for Maestro Flipper, our Penguin Conductor! With a flick of his baton, his Symphony of Stories will have you tapping to the beat, bopping, and calling out “Bravo!” Watching the Book Week books come to life will be music to your ears! (Available from August 2026)
DINOSAUR DANCE!
Join us for some roar-some fun in this stomping, jumping, thumping, dino-packed show. Dance with our Twisting Triceratops and Discoing Pterodactyl. It’s a Jurassic Jive!
TALK TO THE ANIMALS!
Have you ever wondered what animals really think? Let’s visit Chatterbox Zoo to find out! You’ll meet talkative tigers, chatty cheetahs and gossipy grizzly bears! See you at our ROAR-some show where we’ll learn amazing facts about animals – and importantly, how to care for them.
SPACE ADVENTURE!
The Sun is hiding and the Universe has been plunged into darkness! Will you help us to find the Sun and bring her back to the Solar System? We’ll meet cute Martians, twinkly Stars, and a leaping cow on the way – and we’ll learn some solar-sational secrets about outer space too. It’s a blast!
WE’RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT!
Grab your teddy bear and join us for a bear show full of magic, songs and stories about bears.
THE RUNAWAY CANDY CANE!
The Chief Elf is in a sticky situation! The sweet treats for the Christmas Feast have run away – including the cheeky Candy Cane. Help the Chief Elf and Twinkletoes on their race through Santa’s Village to recover all the treats – or Christmas Eve might turn sour! (available from Mid-November)
