You have ten days left to take your family to The Narnia Experience at St. George's Hall Liverpool. It really brings the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe story to life.
The entrance is at the Walker Art gallery end, and the air raid wardens are there to welcome you into war time London. There is music, a quiz, and a clip of the children being evacuated from London before you get taken to be briefed by the Professor's housekeeper, Mrs. Macready. Then the Narnian Dryad's come to lead you through the wardrobe, past the fur coats and into the magical world of Narnia.
This is St. George's hall as you have never seen it before. There is a snowscape (it is has been winter in Narnia for hundred years after all) forest (beware of the trees - some of them are spies, for the white witch) and a frozen waterfall with stepping stones.
There is good Narnian hospitality from Mr. Tumnus, the fawn, and Mrs. Beaver, in their cosy houses offering the best that Narnia has to offer. Edmund follows a slightly different route, which involves Turkish delight and the Queen of Narnia. The story moves on with film clips and live actors to Aslan's camp, the stone table, the witches castle and finally to Cair Paravel, where the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve are crowned Kings and Queens of Narnia.
Then it is back through the wardrobe door, to meet the Professor and make sense of it all, and onto the craft area, to make snowflakes and to talk to Aslan. The whole experience takes about 90 minutes.
While you are in Narnia, you are guided round by Dryads, which was my part in the proceedings. It was good fun, and less lines to learn than Mr. Tumnus, Mrs. Beaver, or the White witch. It was great working with folk from various churches all over Liverpool. Well done to Annie Spiers and IAP for organising it.
