The popular children’s show Bluey is bringing a live stage production to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre in Bournemouth, Dorset. From 6 August to 9 August 2026 families can see the Heeler family in a new story by series creator Joe Brumm; the run at the Pavilion is part of the wider 2025–26 UK and Ireland tour.
The production, Bluey’s Big Play, features human‑sized puppets of Bluey, Bingo, Bandit and Chilli. It is produced by Andrew Kay and Cuffe & Taylor with Windmill Theatre Co for BBC Studios. The stage show runs for about 50 minutes (no interval), features new music by series composer Joff Bush, and finishes with an interactive finale in which bubbles and giant ‘Keepy Uppy’ balls are released into the audience.
The Pavilion Theatre run is being presented at the venue managed by BH Live. The theatre is on Westover Road (BH1 2BU), and the short residency is being promoted as part of the town’s summer family entertainment offerings. Tickets for the Bournemouth performances are priced from approximately £18.25 (prices may vary by seat and date).
The production’s puppetry and visual world were designed by Jonathon Oxlade and the stage production is directed by Rosemary Myers of Windmill Theatre Co. Promotional and ticketing pages describe the show as a high‑quality theatrical adaptation for fans of the series. Performance times for the Bournemouth dates include morning and afternoon sessions (for example, 10:00 and 16:00 on some dates); audiences should check the Pavilion box office or official listings for exact showtimes.
