The popular children’s entertainer Blippi is bringing his live stage show to the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea on Sunday 20 September 2026. The performance, titled the Be Like Blippi Tour, will offer two opportunities for families to see the show, with events held at 13:00 and 16:00.

Designed specifically for children aged two to seven, the high-energy production features Blippi and his best friend, Meekah. The show will include fan-favourite songs such as Monster Truck, The Excavator Song, Dino Dance, and Curious Like Me, all performed by professional actors. The tour is produced by Round Room Live and Moonbug Entertainment, in partnership with MCG Family.

The Cliffs Pavilion, which serves as the largest purpose-built arts venue in Essex, recently underwent an 8 million pound refurbishment. This project, which included a new entrance, an expanded restaurant, and a new outdoor piazza, was funded in part by a 5.5 million pound government grant. The venue, operated by Trafalgar Entertainment on behalf of the Southend-on-Sea City Council, has a capacity of 1,630 seats.

Tickets for the event went on general sale on 23 March 2026 and are available through AXS. The show is part of a wider UK tour that includes 11 cities across the country.
