Amazing Animals

Amazing Animals comes to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Saturday 27 February 2027, a family show that brings the animal kingdom to the stage through puppetry and theatrical magic. It's a matinee, starting at 2:30pm, so it's one of those easy afternoon trips that doesn't eat into the whole day.

The animal line-up is a bit of a mix: polar bears, sloths, giraffes and a mischievous skunk all share the stage. They're brought to life with puppetry, and the whole thing is built around the idea of learning through laughter, so it's as much about the animals as it is about the comedy. The show is billed as an educational whirlwind of furry, feathery fun, and it's aimed at families, so it's the sort of thing you'd take the kids to on a Saturday afternoon.

Beyond the puppets, there's a fair bit more going on. The animal scenes sit alongside special effects and toe-tapping music, and there's plenty of hilarious antics to keep the younger ones from getting restless. It's a family show in the truest sense, designed to be as much for the adults as for the children, with the animals and the comedy doing the heavy lifting.

Tickets are £20.50, and the show runs at 2:30pm on Saturday 27 February at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre.
