CHILDREN can enjoy a magical summer of pirates, puppets and parties – with some of their favourite characters thrown in – at Teesside’s leading leisure venue.
STACK Middlesbrough – which opened in December 2024 – has unveiled its first ever summer children’s event programme to keep youngsters entertained throughout the holidays.
And it is packed with everything from magic shows, dancing, interactive games and the chance to celebrate tv favourites such as Bluey.
The fun begins on 23 July when Magician Marvin takes to the stage with mesmerising tricks, balloon modelling, juggling and puppeteering in the first of three appearances this summer at STACK Middlesbrough.
Then the following day – 24 July – there is a Celebration of Bluey and a stage show filled with music, movement and laughter.
The show promises something for everyone, with performances, meet and greets, activities, an interactive disco, games, colouring and mouthwatering street food.
On 30 July children can take to the high seas with a pantomime pirate show courtesy of Winkle and Storm, who will whisk them away on a swashbuckling journey filled with laughs, fun, and entertainment for the whole family.
And on 31 July there is A Celebration of Blippi with the chance to learn and enjoy interactive games and songs and meet and greet a tribute to the energetic entertainer who shot to fame on YouTube.
Island vibes arrive at STACK on 7 August with A Celebration of Stitch. There will be Hawaiian themed dancing, interactive stage games and the chance to meet and greet the little blue alien.
Magician Marvin returns to STACK on 5 and 26 August with two further shows by Winkle and Storm on 6 and 20 August, while, on 14 August, there is an Ice Extravaganza – a fun-filled morning of singing, dancing and entertainment in tribute to Disney’s Frozen.
Then on 21 August STACK will be taken over by superheroes for a family event filled with high-energy interactive fun.
Children are urged to come dressed as their favourite hero and prepare to save the day with non-stop entertainment and photo opportunities.
And on 28 August, STACK Middlesbrough will round off its programme with a special
Kids Fest End of Summer Party with dancing, bubbles, games, non-stop fun and music for youngsters and their families.
All shows take place between 11am and 12.30pm and tickets are only required for those aged between two and 12.
Tickets are priced at £1.50 and £2.50 and are available at https://www.giftcard.stackleisure.com/collection/kids-events-stack-middlesbrough
