The night is black, and the stars are bright, and the sea is dark and deep. But someone I know is safe and snug, and they’re drifting off to sleep. Round and round, a little boat, no bigger than your hand. Out on the ocean, far away from land. Take the little sail down, light the little light. This is the way to the garden in the night …
Yes, In the Night Garden Live is returning to entertain children up and down the country this summer, and I’ve teamed up with the lovely people over at Minor Entertainment to give one lucky reader the chance to win a family ticket for up to 4 people to see the show at the venue and performance of their choice. How cool is that?!

See Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka brought to life before your eyes with beautiful costumes, magical puppets, enchanting music, and breathtaking projections that make it feel like you’re actually in the Night Garden! There are two different shows to choose from, with each one lasting just under and hour and following a different story.
In the Ninky Nonk show, Igglepiggle loses his blanket, and his friends help him find it. And in the Pinky Ponk show, Makka Pakka washes everyone’s faces, until his sponge gets stuck in Upsy Daisy’s megaphone! All the characters appear in both shows, and both are equally popular. The stories aren’t linked, so you don’t need to see both shows.
All you have to do to be in with the chance of winning is click on the entry form below, answer a simple question, and submit your details before the giveaway closes at 23:59 on Sunday 14th January 2018. The winner will be drawn the next day, and I will contact them shortly after to arrange their prize. It couldn’t be easier!

You know what, I have a toddler aged child and a baby, but I STILL haven’t ever watched this show! I love all these live children’s shows, though. We’ve been to a couple and they were brilliant. Good luck to everyone who enters!
We went to see this and it was brilliant, I think Lily would enjoy it more now that she is older
I’ve just entered – my goddaughter went to this last year and LOVED it so I’m hoping to win a ticket for her to go this year!
I can imagine that every child would love to see this show! The time of the show is also perfect, allowing children to be entertained and not get bored. This is such a great giveaway!
This is definitely a show my son would love to see, I think we might have to get tickets this year.
Aw I bet there are so many kids who would absolutely love to see their favourite characters from In The Night Garden live on stage! Good luck to all!
