The Ultimate Bubble 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.

Name a Seat

Here’s your chance to become part of the furniture at the Gatehouse for the next 10 years, with our new ‘Name a Seat’ programme.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, mark a special moment, say thank you to a friend, or honour a fellow theatre lover, sponsoring a seat in the main auditorium is the perfect memento of happy hours spent at the Gatehouse down the years.

It might just be a memorable quote, or a tribute to your favourite act – the choice is yours.

Your support will make a big difference and help towards projects including our Gatehouse Youth Theatre groups, which give local youngsters their first taste of theatre, our Dementia Friendly Classic Film Afternoons, or our ongoing support for local community groups.

Simply choose what you’d like to say on your specially-engraved metal plaque and we’ll proudly display it on a seat of your choice for the next 10 years. The plaques are 76mm x 50mm Gilt Self Anodised aluminium plate, which can be engraved with up to four lines of text or a maximum of 75 characters.

Donations are £150 per seat (although you can add an extra amount if you wish).

You will also receive a downloadable Certificate of Thanks and a picture of the plaque in place (we will also happily arrange a visit to the theatre for you to grab your own photo).

So sponsor a seat today – and there’ll always be a part of you at the Gatehouse.
