Find EventsIn the Night Garden Live - The Pinky Ponk Show (Manchester)
Step into the magical world of In the Night Garden and see Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka brought to life before your eyes with beautiful costumes, magical puppets, enchanting music and breathtaking projections.
In the Night Garden Live takes place in its own purpose-built, family-friendly Showdome. With just 13 rows of seats, you’ll be close to the action wherever you sit and everyone gets a great view!
Almost 700,000 people have seen In the Night Garden Live so far. 96% of parents say they’d recommend it, and it gets 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 6,496 parents' reviews.
There are other shows for young children, but as The Independent wrote, ‘there’s nothing quite like In the Night Garden Live.’

No exchanges or refunds.
- Duration
Each show lasts just under one hour with no interval.
- Good To Know
There are two shows to see!
There are two shows to choose from – the Ninky Nonk show (where Igglepiggle loses his blanket) and the Pinky Ponk show (where Makka Pakka washes everyone’s faces). Each show follows a different story, but they’re not linked, you don’t need to see both, and you can see them in any order - just like two different episodes of In the Night Garden on the TV. All the main characters are in both shows.
- Pricing details information
Ticket prices change according to demand, a bit like an airline. You'll get the biggest discount if you book early, and we promise that prices will never go down so the sooner you book the less your tickets will cost.
- Suitable For Children
Everything in the Showdome is really family-friendly, from the welcoming staff to ample buggy parking, microwaves, flushing toilets (with toddler steps and seat inserts) and baby-changing facilities.
- What's Included
Every ticket includes a Souvenir Activity Brochure worth £7!

- Where Do I Go
Trafford Centre, Stretford, Manchester M17 8AA
The Showdome is in the Peel 7 Car Park, which is at the John Lewis end of The Trafford Centre. It takes about 10 minutes to walk at buggy pace from the John Lewis exit to the Showdome (walk away from the centre towards the far end of the car park). If you're driving there are parking spaces right outside the Showdome so please follow the blue parking signs.
