The Lighthouse in Poole have some fantastic family shows on throughout the year which are perfect for all ages. 

During the recent half term holidays we went to see ‘Treasure Island’ which was performed by the cast of CBeebies Spotbobs and my son LOVED it! 

Being 4 years old he non stop laughed at their slapstick humour and he never tired of one of the pirates accidently hitting the other pirate with a prop and if one of them fell off the stage well that was a definite belly laugh by all the kids!

The story was a simple one (which of course was perfect for the younger crowd) and there was lots of audience participation with dances, cheering and booing.  The cast of 3 plus a couple of puppets took the children on a very funny and colourful journey to collect gold coins and the children absolutely loved it when one was found.

There’s only a few more UK dates left but if they tour again then I’d thoroughly recommend it.

The Lighthouse in Poole is a registered charity and replies on the support of the community.  After a 4 month refurbishment they have opened their doors looking even fresher than before.  Being family friendly you’ll find baby change facilities plus there’s a café downstairs serving a range of drinks and snacks (I can thoroughly recommend the lemon drizzle cake).
