It’s Spot’s Birthday! He’s having a very special Birthday Party at Leeds Playhouse from 4-6 March, and you’re invited!

Get ready for an unforgettable birthday celebration with our fave pup Spot and his friends, packed with party hats, lively songs, dancing, and all sorts of fun and interactive games for the little ones.

Spot will be joined by his good pals Steve the Monkey, Tom the Crocodile, and Helen the Hippo, all there with you to wish Spot a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and have the most fabulous time, including a special game of hide-and-seek, lots of cake, and lots of presents!

Inspired by the classic lift-the-flap book, Happy Birthday Spot by Eric Hill, and with delightful words and songs by Guy Unsworth, this fresh adaptation transforms our perfect puppy and his pals into a lively, interactive show suitable for children aged 2 and up, as well as their grown-ups who will, of course, love it! The youngest Spot fans will be engrossed by the colours, shapes and music, as they discover a world of wonder and joy through the eyes of one very special dog.

So, RSVP now, get dressed up in your best, most sparkly hat, your shiniest shoes, and your glittering clothes, and book your tickets for this wonderful event, which might actually be the best party you ever attend! Smiles on faces, laughter and unforgettable memories are guaranteed at Spot’s brilliant birthday bash. It’s really not one to miss!

Please note, the running time for Spot’s Birthday Party at Leeds Playhouse is 50 minutes, which is the ideal length of time to keep the attention of the youngest audience members!
