After over 150 sold out performances last year, Ray Bubbles is bringing his soap bubble extravaganza back to Birdwell in July as part of his 200 date European tour.The Ultimate Bubble Show has been the most booked bubble show by theatres in the UK & Ireland for the past three years.
Ray Bubbles, International Bubbleologist and World Record Holder, is on a mission to master the art of bubble-making and create the ultimate square bubble!
This show promises a whirlwind of excitement and surprises, as Ray uses various different gases to craft stunning bubble sculptures, effects, and magical displays.
Prepare to be amazed as Ray creates a volcano bubble, a soap bubble carousel, a bubble ghost, and even a tornado inside a bubble!
The show was inspired by Ray’s work with SEND schools, adult neurodivergent groups, and science centres across Europe.
The performance is suitable for children and adults with additional needs.
Join Ray and see if he can create the ultimate square bubble!

I had doubts as to whether my nearly 2 year old could sit still for an hour but she was absolutely captivated by this show (as were we!) and didn’t want it to end. Impressive bubbles with a relaxed atmosphere. Children of all ages were enthralled by Ray Bubbles and he was really good at both working all through the audience (rather than just staying at the front) and ensuring every child that wanted to interact got a turn.
***** Excellent Show - we absolutely loved it yesterday. Ray is amazing and treats each and every child so kindly - Michaela Downey (audience member, Belltable Theatre, Limerick, 21st June 2025)
***** A brilliant performance for all ages. Everyone in the theatre was laughing, cheering, popping bubbles and eagerly awaiting for what the bubble master was going to do next! Even some of the audience members were lucky enough to help out on stage and I even got the chance to be inside a bubble myself, which is a very niche thing to say. - William (audience member, Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, 30th March 2025)
***** Ray Bubbles performance might be the best thing I've seen so far in 2025! Absolutely wild skills, theatrics and stage presence. Had the crowd right along there with him every step of the way. Such beautiful, joyful comedy alongside a ridiculously skillful and delicate act. Big time disco!
