Take a deep breath and dive underwater in the concert hall submarine with its musical crew, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
On the big screen, Andy is ready to report from an adventure in his submarine pod, plus CBeebies favourites JoJo and Gran Gran are on board with a ‘Gran Gran Plan’ for everyone.
Join the Ocean Adventure crew, including two brilliant CBeebies friends, to search for endangered creatures, find out fascinating facts, and collect sounds and pictures for your very own musical ocean scrapbook.
A magical multi-media event featuring CBeebies theme tunes, orchestral treats, live action film, animation and a few surprises along the way.
