IN THE Night Garden will entertain children at Bradford Alhambra this month. The live version of the BAFTA award-winning CBeebies show can be seen on Saturday June 29 at 10am, 1pm and 4pm, and on Sunday June 30 at 10am and 1pm.

In the Night Garden Live promises a spectacular journey into a magical world featuring all the enchanting characters magically brought to life on stage. The Pinky Ponk Air Orb will soar over the heads of the young audiences, the first time such an effect has been used in theatres across the UK.

The flying Pinky Ponk uses cutting-edge, patented aerodynamic technology pioneered by the specialist German company, Airstage, who have designed and built similar Air Orbs all over the world, including for the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and the Radio City Musical Hall Christmas Spectacular in New York.

Executive producer Oliver Seadon said: “We’ve toured In the Night Garden Live in our own venue for the last ten years and audiences always felt like they were being transported into the Night Garden. We knew that when we brought the show into theatres for the first time we had to do something magical for our little fans and their families.”

In the Night Garden Live is described as the perfect musical theatre experience for the entire family. Children’s favourite CBeebies stars - Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and friends - are all brought to life in a specially-written new story using full-size costumes and puppets with enchanting music and dancing.
