PEPPA Pig is returning to Cumbria in a brand-new show for 2018.

The much-loved children's TV character and her friends appear in Peppa Pig's Adventure, which to the Sands Centre, in Carlisle, for four shows on June 16 and 17 next summer.

Tickets are on sale now from the venue's box office.

Peppa Pig’s Adventure features a new story, loads of songs and heaps of fun.

Produced by leading children’s theatre team Fiery Light, in partnership with licensor Entertainment One, Peppa Pig’s Adventure marks the ninth consecutive year of Peppa Pig live theatre tours since 2009 and the fifth Peppa Pig stage production in total.

Join Peppa as she gets ready to go on an exciting camping trip to the woods with George and her school friends, including Pedro Pony, Suzy Sheep and Gerald Giraffe.

With lunch-boxes packed and Daddy Pig driving the bus, Peppa and her friends are excited about their outdoor adventure, full of games, laughter and live music.

The happy campers soon settle down to sleep and listen to the gentle pitter patter of rain. Safe and warm inside their tents the excited group can look forward to morning time, when there will be lots of muddy puddles to play in.

Richard Lewis once again takes the helm for this new live stage adaptation of the popular animated TV series which he directs and has adapted for the theatre.

He has also adapted and directed the four previous Peppa Pig live stage shows, Peppa Pig’s Party, Peppa Pig’s Treasure Hunt, Peppa Pig’s Big Splash and Peppa Pig’s Surprise.

The show features music from BAFTA award-winning composer Mani Svavarsson.

Audiences will enjoy interactive fun, songs and games with Peppa Pig and her friends.

Peppa Pig’s Adventure promises to be the perfect theatre show for all pre-schoolers aged three and upwards.

The show comes to the Sands Centre on Saturday June 16 and Sunday 17, 2018, with two shows each day. Tickets are available from the venue's box office now.
