We've been asked by Activision, the makers of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, to find 60 Mumsnet families to go to a Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Nickelodeon Event day in London or Liverpool with their family. You'll have exclusive access to the event for a couple of hours before it opens to the public.
The Event will be going on all day, 9am-7pm but you can come and go as you please - the exclusive Mumsnet access session is 9-10.30am. Here are the dates:
Saturday 10th September in Liverpool - Williamson Square, Liverpool NOW CLOSED
Sunday 11th September in Liverpool - Williamson Square, Liverpool NOW CLOSED
Sunday 18th September in London - Westfield Stratford City (please note this is the new Westfield centre in East London)
PLEASE NOTE THEY ARE NOW UNABLE TO RUN THE SATURDAY PREVIEW SESSION - IF YOU APPLIED TO THIS WE HAVE EMAILED YOU
Skylanders Spyro's Adventure is designed for children aged 7-12 years but the event is a day out for the whole family (up to 6 people per family can attend, including children of all ages). Here's what will be happening:
· The Trial Turrets: The highlight of the tour, your child(ren) will be amongst the first in the world to play Skylanders Spyro's Adventure. There will be two Trial Turrets, each featuring six screens, with game trials going on all day.
· The Main Stage area: Nickelodeon presenter Matt Walker will lead proceedings, so expect stage shows packed full of cheekiness, laughs, slime and prizes galore! There will be a live 'Burp off', the chance to 'dress up your parents', quizzes and games, including: Jelly Fishing, Ball Pool relay, Hoola Hoops, Build a Krabby Patty relay and Air Guitar, where kids can dress up in wigs and costumes and play air guitar in front of the Sponge Bob and Patrick videos playing on the big screen.
· The Green Screen Activity Marquee: Take a little piece of the Skylands world home, with a souvenir photograph taken within the magical Skylands world.
· Whirlwind?s Tornado Tunnel: The game's element of 'Air' will be brought to life inside the dome-like tunnel. In teams of five, children will have the challenge of plucking a special prize ticket from the thousands of tickets blowing around inside, within a ten minute slot.

The events will be filmed and photographed for promotion for other events. If you attend and are filmed/photographed, you'll be asked to sign release forms. The films and photos will feature on the Skylanders website and possibly elsewhere. Parking is available at both Liverpool and London venues but the cost of this isn't covered as part of the event and you'll need to bring your own refreshments if you plan to stay for the whole day.
Attendance is by invitation only - if you'd like to attend please sign up here and we'll be in touch with full details if you're selected.
If you're selected to go, you'll be asked to add your feedback from the day to a thread on Mumsnet - everyone who does so will be entered into a prize draw to win a Wii console.
Thanks and good luck

My DCs are over the moon that we're going (London, 18th) even with the knowledge that we're going to have to be up and out and at the train station for 7.30am on a Sunday morning (haven't told DH that bit yet...) 
We are off to London on the 18th as well!! Where you travellling from Mumatron?
Bit of an early start but it sounds like a fun day out although we have 3 girls and the website only shows boys playing with skylanders 
I am going too. Coming from Norwich and will need to leave the house at about 6 I think . Don't really want to reveal my mn name to DH though .
fimbo my dp can't make it so thankfully I don't have to reveal my nickname
You have to do the early morning bit as it's part of the review I think?
We need to leave subtle hints so we can suss each others usernames without giving ourselves away, so when I ask Who's the birthday boy then? I will then know who kbear is 
I'm on a name change, I'm normally Bohica.
I wonder how much the parking will be then
i've just been looking at hotels kbear.
Dp isn't thrilled at the idea but it would be so much better than driving down.
I'm trying to get the monday off work too so we dont have to rush back on the sunday, but it's my first day back after maternity leave so I don't fancy my chances of them giving it to me
