Fireman Sam is Coming to Kettering This August

If you’ve got a little firefighter-in-training at home, I’ve got some brilliant news for you. Fireman Sam is heading to Kettering this summer with a brand new live show, and it sounds like exactly the kind of thing that could fill a rainy (or scorching!) August afternoon during the school holidays. Here’s everything you need to know before you book.

What’s the show about?

Norman Price is determined to win the Pontypandy Treasure Hunt, but when he stumbles across clues to a real pirate treasure, he heads off exploring deep into the caves. That’s when it’s up to Fireman Sam, Elvis and Ellie to save the day and track down the treasure. Expect clues, pirate songs and plenty of swashbuckling adventure along the way. It’s a brand new show for 2026, produced by Mark Thompson Productions in partnership with Mattel, and directed by Miranda Larson.

When and where

• Date: Thursday 20 August 2026
• Show times: 12:30pm and 3:30pm
• Venue: The Lighthouse Theatre, Kettering Leisure Village, Thurston Drive, Kettering NN15 6PB

Ticket prices

• Full price: £16.50
• Concession: £15.50

With two performances on the day, there’s a bit of flexibility if you need to work around nap times or other summer holiday plans.

How to book

Tickets can be booked directly through the Lighthouse Theatre website, or you can call the box office on 01536 414141. Family shows like this tend to sell out, especially over the summer holidays, so I’d recommend booking sooner rather than later if it’s on your list.
