We were so excited when we found out we were going to watch Peppa Pig’s Big Splash Live at the Buxton Opera House, I have four kids aged 2-7 we decided to keep it a surprise from them. All four kids have loved Peppa Pig and it’s been a big part of my life spanning 5 years of episodes, so I had everything crossed that it wouldn’t ruin the fondness I have for that little pink pig never mind the kids. I was also worried about my twin 2 year old sitting still long enough to watch it and was very aware that it could end up being a nightmare trip. How wrong was I!

We arrived at the Buxton Opera House in good time to be able to have a game of guess where we are and what we are doing, it was only when we sat down surrounded by excited kids with Peppa Pig flashy toys and t-shirts my 7 year old guessed and sounded slightly disappointed. The theatre was lovely and intimate meaning we were very close to the stage and from the second the curtains opened my 2 year old girl squealed all the way through at all the characters and the interaction the actors had with the audience. it was so amazing how they interacted and made each and every child smile and clap along, even my 7 year old forgot how old she was and how uncool Peppa is at 7! The actors were seriously fantastic and the voices were so near to the programme, you got drawn into the show and really felt like you were watching an episode. It had all the best bits that my kids love and could shout and sing along too. The length was fab for the kids as any longer and they would have got bored. I am really tempted to go and see it again as I have never seen my 2 year old girl so excited and entertained.

I would recommend anyone whose kids like Peppa Pig to go and see it, it’s certainly well worth the £16 a ticket, we absolutely loved it.
