About

Having an imaginary friend is part of growing up, but what if you didn't grow up?

Meet with 'Wendy'. She has a friend called 'Peter'. He is the boy who never grew up. Is he real? Or is he just make-believe? Let your child's imagination run wild as they create their very own world of illusion.

Peter has lost his mischievous shadow and he needs your help to find it. Become a member of Peter's gang and search far and wide for his shadow.

During the 90 minute enchanting event, your little one will use their imagination to fly through faraway lands and return Peter's shadow to its rightful place. Along the journey, they will be met by some other characters including a magic 'Tinker fairy' and the 'Pirate Captain'.

The event will be filled with music and dancing, stories, art and craft activity, games and prizes, live singing performances and a 'follow the leader' parade. This adventure is fun for the younger members of the family, and is the perfect treat for your children over the school holidays.

This event will take place inside the Child's Play exhibition, which is a celebration of all things playful in the Laing collection.
