BBC Children in Need returns live to Dock 10 in MediaCityUK, Salford on Friday 13 November 2026 for a spectacular night of fundraising featuring Hollywood A-listers and some of the UK’s best loved stars.

Audiences can expect star-studded sketches, show-stopping music performances, and big surprises, all to raise life-changing funds for children and young people right across the UK. The need has never been greater as right now the charity is only able to fund one in six of the organisations that ask for help.

Want to join us in the studio? Enter the random draw below for a chance to be part of the audience, and get your best Pudsey outfit ready!

Tickets will be allocated by random draw.

You can register at any time until 10pm on Thursday 22 October.

You can apply for a maximum of two tickets.

Please be aware there will be some seating and some standing places in the studio. Your place in the studio will be allocated once you enter the studio area.

If you have any access requirements please let us know when you apply, as we will not be able to accommodate them once seats have been assigned due to the limited seating in the studio.

We do not want to encourage unnecessary travel from outside the local area so please consider your location before you apply.

Water may be brought on site in reusable water bottles, and these can be re-filled at the water coolers at the studio. We ask that you don’t bring glass or metal bottles.
