CBeebies favourite Maddie Moate to star in York Theatre Royal pantomime - tickets on sale now
This is the second time the theatre has produced its annual pantomime in partnership with Evolution Productions. It follows the success of last year’s production of Cinderella with another CBeebies favourite Andy Day which was nominated as Best Panto at the British Pantomime Awards.
Maddie will play fabulous, feisty fairy Tinkerbell. Since 2016 she has presented the wildly popular BBC CBeebies series Do You Know? exploring the secret workings of everyday objects. This saw her win the 2017 Best Presenter category at the BAFTA Children’s Awards.

Maddie has a huge online presence. Her own science and technology YouTube channel is enjoyed by millions of families worldwide. She takes her audience on educational adventures and inspires them to ‘say curious’.
More recently her channel has been the home of Let’s Go Live! With Maddie and Greg, her live daily live science show for families.
She also presents and makes films for a variety of other educational YouTube channels including Fully Charged, focusing on electric vehicles and future energy, and BBC Earth’s Unplugged where she investigates the quirks of our amazing planet.
