Don’t miss Tyne Theatre & Opera House’s fantastic summer holiday lineup

With the summer holidays just around the corner, Newcastle's Tyne Theatre & Opera House are offering a host of shows that’ll entertain the little ones and provide fun for all the family.

On Saturday 20 July 2024, roll up to the smash-hit circus musical, Cirque: The Greatest Show! Featuring West End and Broadway hits combining with breath-taking, amazing aerialists and contortionists, this all-star cast is not to be missed. With songs from The Greatest Showman, Moulin Rouge, Hairspray and even Rocketman, the jaw-dropping circus spectacular turns into a night like no other. In a brand-new show for 2024, Cirque has proved to be popular in previous years and will dazzle audiences this July.

Children can see their favourite Milkshake! characters make the leap from screen to stage in Milkshake! Live on Holiday on Saturday 27 th July. With friends from Paw Patrol, Dora, Blue’s Clues and more, children will love seeing their beloved cartoons come to life in this exciting live show. Pack your bags, jump aboard the Milkshake! train and join the Tyne Theatre & Opera House on an all-singing, all-dancing holiday.

After last summer’s popular show, Dinosaur Adventure Live returns with a brand-new production. When the island’s ancient volcano becomes active, it spells danger for everyone – including the dinosaurs! In Dinosaur Adventure Live: Trouble on Volcano Island, rangers must save the island in a race against time. On the way, audience members can learn fun dino facts and even see a cheeky Spinosaurus, baby dinos, a gigantic T. Rex and more whilst conquering challenges. With a free photo opportunity at the end to meet the baby dino, this would make the perfect exciting day out on Wednesday 7August.

Looking for plans during the Bank Holiday weekend? In The Night Garden Live returns in its 15 year of performances! Join Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and friends on Saturday 24 - Sunday 25 August in their fun-filled live show, Igglepiggle’s Busy Day! Using full-size costumes, puppets and more, capture the magic of the show as the characters come to life before your very eyes. Plus, expect a special visit from the flying Pinky Ponk!
