ST GEORGE’S Hall is inviting visitors to step through the wardrobe into a snow-encrusted wonderland when The Narnia Experience takes up residence next month.
Run by local charity In Another Place, the interactive show takes the audience through the story of CS Lewis’s novel The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe from Lucy’s first steps into Narnia to the children’s efforts to defeat the White Witch.
Organisers are expecting around 15,000 visitors over a two-week run, with the first week taken up by school visits and the second open to the public.
Annie Spiers, head of In Another Place, says: “For Narnia fans, we hope this will be an unforgettable experience where visitors actually walk through the story, through a forest of 80 pine trees, visit Mr Tumnus in his house and the scary White Witch.
“The set, costumes and scenery has been created by a huge team of volunteers. This is Liverpool demonstrating the power of community.”
It has taken hundreds of volunteers 12 months to pull the show together.
The Narnia experience was first performed in 2009, when more than 3,000 people visited Old Christ Church in Waterloo.
THE Narnia Experience is at St George’s Hall, from February 8-19. Tickets £4 (£15 family), 0844 888 9991.
