Is this the arena in Birmingham? I have never been to this, but I can recommend the Thomas Day Out at Midland Railway, Derbyshire. Not sure if this is close to you, great for kids, a massive Thomas train to ride on and everyone dresses up like the character, hope this helps.

We went to see this at Manchester yesterday. My sons are 2 and 4 and they loved it. Lots of songs, shouting out and cheering. They didnt get restless which I was worried about. They were so good we have booked tickets for the live cbeebies show which is coming in december. one warning though there is lots of toys, etc to buy there.

hello, sorry for the delay in answering! My little boy is two and I didn't think he would sit still for the full two hours, he was a little restless half way through and then they stopped the show for a 10min break! PHEW! He absolutely loved it and was amazed by it all. There is plenty of interaction during the show ie songs with movements and answers to be shouted back, it passed quite quickly for us adults (join in and sing along!!!).
just a note about the intermission, lots of parents bought their own snacks which i wish we had done as it was super expensive to buy drinks and food there (�5 buckets of popcorn, �3.50 hotdogs!) There are lots of souveners to buy which are again a total rip off (T-shirts �12, plastic mugs �5, Light sticks �7 or �10 each), unfortunately for us parents we have to buy one or two souveniers of the day. No DVDs of the show though which we thought was a shame, would have been nice for him to watch again. (we noticed LOADS of people blatently recording the show on phones and cameras, wish we had done that too!)
you and your little one(s) will enjoy yourselves very much!
Have fun
MM xx
