Another magical Monday and another planned trip over to Nymans. Every year I think that they can't do Christmas any better and every year they surpass themselves. I think this one has to be my favourite yet. If you'd care to wander under the arch of books and then through the wardrobe with me this much loved tale from my childhood will once again unfurl. I'm not going to put up explanations as I'm sure that most people will have read this classic or seen it at some point in time🪄
As ever the NT has thought of every little detail from the themed wreath on the second hand bookshop door to the incredible sets using mixed media from the smallest felted creations to the full sized White Witch. Believe you me Mr GBT and I were definitely not the only adults sans enfants going round. There were gasps from the biggest children reliving their memories as they opened different wardrobes dotted round the gardens to reveal their surprises within. I think that there were many of us stepping back to the time when we first came across Narnia. I was more than happy to enjoy several pieces of Turkish Delight when I returned to GBT as a distraction from the much loathed festive tasks of card and gift wrapping. All done now thankfully! Have a great weekend folks.

Stunning. I loved Christmas in winter. You get to enjoy such delights.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and her husband saw some sort of Narnia display last Christmas, although it was nowhere near you. If memory serves, I believe they actually ducked and entered through a wardrobe. I think it sounds like it would be great fun, with or without kids. I think that I had turkish delight at some point in my life, and I also think that I was not a fan.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely magical! Thank you for taking me through the wardrobe! xxx
