Liverpool will play host to a very special Christmas event this season as animation giants Dreamworks bring their Dreamworks Lights event to the UK for the very first time.
In what is sure to be one of the UK’s top Christmas events this year, Dreamworks Lights will see characters from some of the company’s biggest productions take over the historic St George’s Hall.
There will be 25 stunningly created illuminated scenes for guests to walk through, featuring characters from Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda and Madagascar. Lanterns will guide visitors through the attraction in which 100 illuminated figures will bring the movies to life, offering an enchanting Christmas experience.
While more details about the event are yet to be announced, there will be a green-screen photographic experience, allowing families to take away a photograph of themselves alongside the likes of Shrek. The event is sure to be a popular one, especially with kids.
Spread around one of the most recognisable buildings in the city – and the host to several movie shoots itself over the years – St George’s Hall was hand-picked by the Hollywood movie-makers to be the location for the event.
Bringing Dreamworks Lights to the city represents a major coup for Liverpool, a city that has demonstrated a remarkable ability to host events in recent years, including the ‘Giants’ production which has twice visited the banks of the River Mersey.
Dreamworks Lights runs from 26th November through until 15th January and booking ahead is recommended. Checkout the official Dreamworks Lights event website for more information.
