Something special is coming to York – the first ever CBeebies interactive pop-up experience.
Produced by Step Inside Productions under licence by BBC Studios, CBeebies Rainbow Adventure will be in the city for more than three weeks between 11 September and 4 October.
The York BID have been working with the production team to bring the adventure to York as part of its tour.
CBeebies Rainbow Adventure is a unique, brightly coloured inflatable structure housed in a converted shipping container.
It will be located in Castle Car Park, in a similar position to where the Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre was last year.

Councillor Keith Aspden, leader of City of York Council, said:
“We’ve agreed to lease Castle Car Park to attract such an exciting event.
It will provide a fantastic window into the area’s future as a family-friendly space where York residents will love to spend time.
We hope that many York children and families are able to take advantage of another great event in our city centre.
It is a spectacular setting for any event. I am sure this will be a great success, and a powerful reminder of why we’re determined to transform the Castle Gateway area.”
Under the Castle Gateway masterplan, Castle Car Park will close in 2022 to become a public and event space.
A new multi-storey car park will be built on St George’s Field, moving parking and associated car journeys outside the inner ring road, while new pedestrian and cycle routes and crossing will connect St George’s Field to the city centre.
