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.
