Roald Dahl & Imagination Seekers at Southbank

[nunheadmum]

If anyone is going to this at the Southbank this week, just be aware that they take the kids off without the parents. Just behind a curtain, so not far. But a few kids are reluctant to go and parents are stressed. Thought it may help to be aware.

Kids sound like they're enjoying it - the ones who went. Parents may want to take coffee / a good book etc.

Did your girls enjoy it? Thinking of going there on Wednesday.

I just took my youngest and her friend. They were apparently told to tell their parents that it had been really boring and they hated it and keep it a secret what they did - because we wouldn't have enough imagination to appreciate what was so good about it. So it was actually quite hard to get an honest reaction as they totally took this to heart. But at the same time, there was a little murmer of 'it really was a bit boring' which I think was an honest comment. They didn't come out buzzing, as I would have expected from something they'd enjoyed. Impossible to tell though as the parents didn't see anything of what they did.

There are TONS of things going on around the RFH this week so I'm sure there will be other things that are good. It was totally heaving with kids today. If you do book online and need to pick up tickets, allow lots of time as at points there were big queues.

Thanks for that, in the end decided against it (more me not having the energy to face huge queues) and ended up at the Peckham Plex!
