Peppa Pig's baby sister Evie to make stage debut at iconic UK destination
Move over, Peppa—there's a new piglet in town. Peppa Pig's adorable baby sister, Evie, is getting ready to steal hearts as she makes her stage debut in a brand-new show at Butlin's holiday resorts in 2026. Evie, whose arrival at St Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing in May delighted fans across the UK, will be featured in an all-new Peppa Pig live performance exclusive to Butlin's. The storyline follows Peppa as she plans a special picnic to celebrate her little sister, with plenty of singing, dancing, and, of course, snorting. Butlin promises the performance will be packed with giggles, music, and moments the whole family can enjoy. The new show is part of Butlin's ongoing partnership with the beloved children's franchise and marks the first time Evie will appear in a public performance. According to the company, Evie will 'take centre stage' and 'trot into the spotlight' as part of their 2026 entertainment lineup. Alongside Peppa Pig's new show, Butlin's 2026 lineup features three more exciting productions: The Dinosaur That Pooped a Rock Show, a silly musical from McFly's Tom and Dougie; Imagine That! by the Skyline Gang, inspiring kids to dream big; and Theatre of Rock, a glittering tribute to West End hits like Six and Tina. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful! Undo All about Evie Evie's arrival marks a major milestone for the Peppa Pig universe. While Peppa, George, Mummy Pig, and Daddy Pig have been household names since 2004, the introduction of a new family member brings a refreshing layer to the long-running show. It's not just about expanding the family tree—it's about evolving the narrative for a new generation of viewers. Behind the scenes, Evie was carefully planned. Her character was first hinted at earlier this year, with subtle nods and a well-timed pregnancy reveal that cleverly aligned with Mother's Day in the UK. The creative team used the opportunity to explore real-life moments that young audiences can relate to—like anticipating a new sibling and adapting to change at home. Hasbro, the company behind the franchise, sees Evie as more than just another character. She represents growth, emotional learning, and storytelling that keeps pace with the modern family dynamic.

Peppa Pig's little sister set to make debut at popular British holiday destination - and you can book it now
Peppa Pig has got competition. Her new baby sister Evie is set to make her debut at an iconic British holiday destination. Evie's arrival at St Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing in May captivated the nation – and it won't be long until Brits can see more of the new arrival. The youngest member of the UK's favourite cartoon pig family will be 'trotting into the spotlight' for the first time in a brand-new Peppa Pig show at Butlin's in 2026. Evie will 'take centre stage' in the new show, which is themed around Peppa planning a 'special picnic' to 'celebrate Evie'. Butlin's reveals that this 'exciting performance will be packed with singing, dancing, giggles and snorts galore'. But Evie isn't the only new attraction at Butlin's. The Peppa Pig show is just one of four new shows set to debut at the iconic British holiday parks in 2026. McFly stars Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter's The Dinosaur that Pooped a Rock Show, will also launch next year. Described as a 'high-energy musical', Butlin's promises the show will have 'all-new catchy songs by the McFly duo, laugh-out-loud moments, loads of silly fun and of course, lots of poo.' The holiday camp's Skyline Gang will also stage a new show called Imagine That!, where each member will explore their 'ultimate dream job'. Butlin's says this 'feel-good performance is bursting with catchy tunes' and 'perfect for kids who love to dream big'. And fans of the West End will love Butlin's new original production, Theatre of Rock. Holidaymakers will enjoy hits from huge musicals such as Six and Tina, in the 'dazzling' new show. Mike Godolphin, entertainment director at Butlin's, says: 'In 2026, we're once again showcasing why we are the Home of Entertainment, with four fantastic new shows added to our lineup. 'We're excited to be bringing our own West End-quality productions alongside every tot's favourite characters to all three resorts, with Evie Pig in our new Peppa Pig show and The Dinosaur that Pooped. 'We're confident our guests will love our brand-new shows, and what's even better is that they are all included in the price of our breaks, alongside our incredible pools, fairgrounds, playgrounds and soft play. 'Our Showtime breaks offers fantastic value for money with four nights of family fun filled with non-stop daytime activities, West End quality entertainment and so much more. It's the perfect holiday for a family with kids five and under.' The four new shows, including the Peppa Pig show with Evie, will debut in 2026. Holidaymakers can book a four-night Showtime term-time break from just £39 for a family of four. The package includes all the live shows, unlimited fairground rides, pool access and playgrounds. Playgrounds include the SKYPARKS in Minehead and Skegness and the brand-new 3,000 square feet Skyline Gang Soft Play in Bognor Regis.
