Nick Cope's Family Show

  • The Old Market Upper Market Street Hove BN3 1AS (map)

Nick Cope has been writing and recording his beautiful and totally unique songs for children and their families for over 10 years, he performs with his guitar and stunning animations to sell-out crowds all over the country.

His fanatical following of little and not-so-little fans has grown immeasurably over the last couple of years due to the phenomenal success of the CBeebies show Nick Cope’s Popcast, now in its third series.

Nick has a magical way of reaching into people’s hearts, igniting children’s imagination in an organic, unpatronizing, educational and fun way. With his charming songs and humour, Nick engages, entertains, and enthrals all generations of the family.

Nick’s live performances are legendary and appeal to children and adults alike. If you haven’t heard his songs or seen his shows before, come along and find out what you’ve been missing.
