There’s a free event taking place in Leeds city centre at Kirkgate Market and it’s all themed around the iconic movie-musical Wicked.
Whether you’re a Glinda or an Elphaba, this family-friendly event is tailored entirely to you and we’re fairly certain it’s going to be quite ‘Popular’ – especially since you don’t need to pay for entry.
Titled ‘Wizardry Fun at Leeds Kirkgate Market’, expect lots of interactive workshops throughout the day including Wand and Wizard training as well as balloon modelling.
There will be themed games and a ‘Wizard Magic’ show occurring on all three dates, so if you’re after spending ‘One Short Day’ or ‘Dancing Through Life’ from dusk til dawn, you’re in for a treat.
Get ready to meet the two witches of Oz face to face and have your photo taken with them behind a tapestry of Glinda’s iconic bubble.
Make sure you have your voices warmed up to as there will be a sing-a-long opportunity on all three days where you can belt-out all the huge hits from the stage and film production.
You can dress up in your most wicked attire or simply come as you are with fancy dress being optional, but with Halloween approaching we’re sure there will be plenty of recognisable outfits and lookalikes walking round Kirkgate Market during this event.
This city centre space has also made sure to arrange quieter time slots on each of the dates from 11am to 12pm which are suitable for any children who are sensitive to noise or crowds.
The free themed event is taking place at the perfect time, especially since the sequel to the hugely-popular ‘Wicked’ film is coming to cinemas this November.
Other activities which your children can get involved with on the day include a dedicated crafts and colouring zone and various LEGO and DUPLO building tables.
‘Wizardy Fun at Leeds Kirkgate Market’ is taking place across Tuesday 28 October to Thursday 30 October and it’s completely free, all you have to do is be there – see more information HERE.
