Bing’s Birthday ! at The Lowry Theatre
[Ad-gifted] Join Bing and his friends Sula, Pando, Coco, Amma and of course Flop as they get ready to celebrate his special day in the brand-new live stage show, Bing’s Birthday! at The Lowry Theatre in Salford Quays. Danielle Booker reviews.
“Round the corner not far away…” Bing is celebrating his 3rd birthday on stage at The Lowry Theatre.
Bing’s Birthday! is a brand-new live stage show. Our four-year-old daughter is a big fan of the CBeebies series and was amazed to see her favourite characters brought to life with such wonderful puppetry.
The talented puppeteers, dressed in black, fade into the background and allow your little ones to see Bing and his friends – plus the ever-caring Amma and Flop – realised on stage.
What did we think of the show?
For fans of the TV show, there are lots of familiar bits in the stage show that they will love, including the words said by Flop at the start and end of every episode. The stage is set as Bing’s home and his local playground. The live show is made up of lots of bits from different episodes. And at the end Bing summarises what he’s learnt from the show, as he does in the episodes.
Just like the series, the show is gentle and promotes learning and resilience. It is very interactive with lots of fun and catchy songs, opportunities to sing-along and get up and dance, and joining in with counting.
Bing’s Birthday! is a fun-filled family show that’s perfect for little ones. Bing is a preschool bunny, and I would say the show, like the series, is also best suited to preschoolers and their families.
“It’s a Bing thing!”

This looks like an amazing show for the kiddos. I haven’t heard of Bing before, but the characters look absolutely adorable.
Beth, the show is on CBeeBies and has a big following with young kids here in the UK
They look like such fun characters! I would love to learn more about the show! It looks so cute!
Absolutely, such fun characters for little ones
What a cute show! I’ve never heard of Bing before, and it looks like it is really cute. So fun to bring the show alive at the theater. My kids would have loved this when they were younger.
Its a fab show kids like on CbeeBies channel in the UK
I like that it’s just under an hour with no intermission. I know a lot of people like/appreciate an intermisison but I’m not one of them. This looks really cute.
For little ones its best to have a shorter show with no breaks
My nephew would love this show, it seems so entertaining. I’ll be sure to recommend this to my sister!
Thank you Lavanda, I am sure he would enjoy this very much as well especially if he loves watching Bing!
I have never heard of this show, but it looks like great entertainment for the little ones! Glad the whole process is made to be a stress free experience
Absolutely! Such a fun show and my daughter loved it
Any play that promotes learning and resilience is a huge yes for me…I would love to go with my niece to the show, I can’t wait.
Glad to hear that Karen, its a great show for little ones
A very reasonably priced show! I find these ones for younger kids do better without a break. Sounds like a good time!
Agree, especially for very little kids as the duration is just right that they don’t get bored
