This Autumn, beloved children’s television character, Peppa Pig, will be brought to life in an all-new immersive adventure, PEPPA PIG: Surprise Party, designed specifically for young children by renowned live entertainment company, Immersive Everywhere, in collaboration with leading games, IP and toy company, Hasbro.

Opening at the iconic Metrocentre Gateshead in Autumn 2025, PEPPA PIG: Surprise Party promises an oink-tastic adventure where, for the first time ever, little ones (ages 1- 6 years) and their families will be able to step inside the world of PEPPA PIG and help to plan the ultimate surprise party.

Taking on an active role in the party preparations, this brand-new immersive experience invites families to freely explore recognisable locations from the globally successful animated television series including the Garden Square, Mr Fox’s Shop, the Aquarium and Caves – each packed with a series of exciting, hands-on activities before ending with a very special surprise party just for Peppa.

Hopping aboard ‘The Big Train’ to enter the experience, guests will meet plenty of Peppa’s friends along the way while helping with everything from choosing the perfect gift with Miss Rabbit, singing along with Madame Gazelle and, of course, making sure the party cake is ready on time! The 1hr 45-minute adventure will culminate in a showstopping celebration with Peppa’s family at Peppa’s House complete with party hats, giggles and maybe even a few muddy puddles.

Blending live puppetry and theatrical performance with digital storytelling and multi-sensory play, PEPPA PIG: Surprise Party has been thoughtfully designed to encourage curiosity, creativity and joyful learning. With free-flow exploration across 19,000 sq. ft, children can choose their own path, going at their own pace and engage with the experience however they like, meaning no two visits will ever be the same.

Alongside the activities throughout Peppatown, the experience will feature a variety of photo opportunities for children and adults to enjoy as well as an onsite gift shop offering exclusive keepsakes and PEPPA PIG treasures to take home as a memento of their magical day.

PEPPA PIG: Surprise Party will also be home to two Party Rooms, each with its own theme (Carnival and Circus) and decorated with party bunting, festoon lighting and large screens for guests to display their own footage for children’s birthday parties. Each room can cater for up to 10 children and 4 adults.
