Family Show
Get ready for ‘The Ultimate Bubble Show’ coming to the Gatehouse on March 27. The Ultimate Bubble Show is a joyful romp and artistic treat for all the family. Join Ray, International Bubbleologist and Guinness World Record Holder, and help him in his quest to complete the bubble game and make the ultimate bubble.
𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬. Experience the best in soap bubble entertainment. The show has a lively and exciting storyline which enthrals and captivates with exciting stunts, amazing magic and spectacular bubble displays. It’s full of surprises, audience participation and games with a splash of science suitable for children and adults of all ages with a sense of fun. This is an event you will remember and talk about for years as these are not ordinary bubbles; they’re MASSIVE bubbles, FIRE bubbles, EXPLODING bubbles, STEAM bubbles, COLOURFUL bubbles, MICRO bubbles, PING PONG bubbles, FAIRGROUND bubbles, SPACE bubbles, SNOW bubbles, SNAKE bubbles and even TASTY bubbles. Then there are not one but two beds of nails, swords, whips and an extreme sponsored walk amongst other anti-bubble obstacles to overcome as we try to find The Ultimate Bubble.
Ray Bubbles, the mastermind behind Paris Bubbles, a renowned name in the world of bubble artistry, has long been recognized for his expertise and passion in pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with soap bubbles.

Did you know that Stafford’s Ancient High House is a hive of Halloween hauntings? From the crazy Ghost Hunter in the attic, to the doomed Victorian Professor down below, there’s a whole host of ghouls and demons waiting to scare the living daylights out of you this Halloween. Try to avoid Miss Shivers in the anti-social media section and beware the Witch Finder General’s gross-out gaze in the garden. There will be a spooky shop of oddities and curiosities, Halloween crafts and an Unlucky Dip amid the decorated rooms dripping with centuries of doom. Delve in if you dare! It’s Stafford’s most spooktacular building like you’ve never seen it before – and like you’ll never want to see it again.
Family Thrills on October 28th is aimed more at families with younger children so will be a little less terrifying (!) whereas October 29th is Older Scares – which will be a bit spookier. Book today . . . if you dare!
The incredible talent of Dene Dance School present their showcase – Jukebox Jams.
Tickets on sale Wednesday, September 7.
