In the Night Garden, a BBC children's television series aimed at young children, is embarking on a UK-wide stage tour of 40 venues next year.

The company website describes the show as a "magical picture-book place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child's imagination," made up of a diverse community of loveable characters. It says the show will carry children into a "happy and yet calming world of music and nursery rhymes."

The live shows will bring characters - including Igglepiggle, Upsy Daisy and Makka Pakka - to life with full-size costumes, magical puppets and enchanting music. The shows will last just under one hour and are set in a puprpose-built, family friendly showdome.

The show itself has been devised and produced by Teletubbies creators, Anne Wood and Andy Davenport.

When is the show coming to Edinburgh?

The show is scheduled to come to the King's Theatre on April 27th and 28th. Specific times are yet to be confirmed.
