North East shoppers set to enjoy a brand new Peppa Pig Market

Ahead of an immersive Peppa Pig experience arriving at the Metrocentre in Spring 2026, the Gateshead shopping centre has revealed that a brand new Peppa Pig Market will be opening on Friday, November 28.

The market aims to offer families an early glimpse into the experience by drawing inspiration from Peppa’s ‘shopping’ episode.

The interactive retail space will combine exclusive merchandise with playful experiences, inviting visitors to grab a trolley, explore the aisle, and head to the checkout just like Peppa and her family.

Scheduled to open in Spring 2026, ‘Peppa Pig: Surprise Party’ promises to be a ground-breaking immersive experience for preschool-aged children that has been developed in collaboration with Hasbro.

The event will see children aged one to six-years-old and their families step inside the world of Peppa Pig and help to plan the ultimate surprise party.

Visitors will take on an active role in the party preparations as the immersive experience allows families to freely explore recognisable locations from the globally successful animated television series.

Settings will include the Garden Square, Mr Fox’s Shop, the Aquarium and Caves - each packed with a number of exciting, hands-on activities before ending with a special surprise party, just for Peppa.

Tickets for Peppa Pig: Surprise Party will be available via a pre-sale on November 18, ahead of a general sale on November 20.

They will be priced from £15 per adult and £20 per child, with pre-sale access available by clicking here.

Once the general sale starts, tickets will be available to purchase online and in the Peppa Pig Market when it opens its doors later this month.
