Experience Christmas Magic At Liverpool’s Kings Dock With Christmas-Shire Adventure

A unique and interactive festive adventure is set to light up Liverpool’s Kings Dock this Christmas season, offering families an extraordinary journey through the enchanted world of Christmas-Shire.

Running from Saturday 16 November to Sunday 22 December 2024, this one-of-a-kind event promises a theatrical experience filled with fun, festive magic, and heartwarming encounters.

In the heart of Christmas-Shire, Nutmeg the elf has been in charge of looking after the Christmas magic. Unfortunately, it seems Nutmeg hasn’t done the best job – most of the magic has been accidentally spilt, possibly thanks to a mischievous reindeer! With Christmas at risk and Father Christmas’ sleigh grounded, Nutmeg and their elf companion, Sprout, need help from visiting families to create more magic and save Christmas.

Guests will embark on a 45-minute, interactive adventure through the beautifully designed yurts of Christmas-Shire, located beside the Wheel of Liverpool. Led by Nutmeg and guided by a host of charming characters, visitors will become part of the story. The journey culminates in a delightful meeting with Father Christmas himself, who will present an ethically sourced gift as a thank-you for helping to restore the Christmas spirit.

Christmas-Shire is the latest creation from Sneaky Experience, a leading name in immersive events. The magical experience combines captivating storytelling, performances by professional actors, and plenty of photo opportunities.

Julia Benfield, founder of Sneaky Experience, shared her excitement: “I can’t wait for our visitors to see the enchanted yurts of Christmas-Shire pitch up along Kings Dock. This event captures Sneaky Experience’s unique offering – from exquisite costumes to award-winning makeup and set design, it’s an adventure that brings everyone into the story.”

Creative director Martin Coat added: “Being part of the Sneaky Experience creative team is like having the keys to a magical toy box. Seeing the wonder on our visitors’ faces is what makes it all so special. It’s a truly engaging and exciting journey for all ages.”

Christmas-Shire will be based in three Scandinavian-inspired yurts along the banks of Kings Dock. The event is set to enhance the already festive atmosphere around ACC Liverpool, adding to their existing seasonal offerings.

Ben Williams, commercial and business development director at ACC Liverpool, said: “The brilliant team at Sneaky Experience has created a magical and memorable event to add to our Christmas programme. With our annual pantomime inside and Christmas-Shire outside, Kings Dock will be a true festive hub for families this year.”

In addition to regular sessions, Christmas-Shire will also feature relaxed sessions and special 30-minute weekday toddler sessions, making the event accessible and enjoyable for visitors of all ages.
