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.
Click here for more information about the events.

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
MNHQ

Lilyloo you put down for Sunday 11th September in Liverpool - is that ok?

If you can do the other date too do pop that in the end box

AnnMumsnet · 03/09/2011 19:40

gazzalw - it's 60 in total....30 for each location (I guess 15 per day but not 100% sure). The sunday one in London is most popular at the moment so if you can do the Sat do choose that date. The Liverpool one is about the same

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 07/09/2011 14:25

androbbob - not too late! We'll be sending out invites for the Liverpool events by tomorrow morning

AnnMumsnet · 08/09/2011 18:17

I've literally just sent the emails out - if you applied for Liverpool you should have an email. Sorry it is late notice!
If you applied for London, please bear with...we'll hopefully be in touch tomorrow.

AnnMumsnet · 10/09/2011 08:57

I'm sorry the early start is causing issues re fares etc - they have said naturally you are most welcome to attend any of the 4 events (this Sat and Sun in Liverpool or next Sat and Sun in Westfield (Stratford)) - as a member of the public (ie not at the preview) and to add feedback on the thread - both run from 10am for all day. Do let me know (ideally by email) and I will keep you on the list and email you the feedback link.

AnnMumsnet · 10/09/2011 09:24

No rip....it's a free event

AnnMumsnet · 13/09/2011 12:33

Hi...sorry guys - I am chasing a response from the organisers re last weekend and Sunday...I'll update as soon as I know more

NewGirlHelenMumsnet · 13/09/2011 15:13

Hi all - here's the response from the event organisers:

"Activision would like to thank all of the Mumsnetters who came along to the debut Skylanders Spyro?s Adventure Nickelodeon Live Tour, which launched in Liverpool last Saturday 10th, September.

This was the first event of its kind in our European tour and a lot of fun was had by all. Unfortunately, as some of you know, due to the size and scope of production we did experienced some unforeseen teething problems which resulted in a delayed start time.

We would like to sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and express our gratitude to those of you who supported us and who took the time to attend with your families. Your patience and understanding is much appreciated and we hope that you still found your experience with Skylanders enjoyable.

If you are planning to come to the event at Westfield Stratford City this Sunday we are confident the teething problems will be ironed out and you will be able to enjoy the event fully as described in the opening post of this thread."

AnnMumsnet · 14/09/2011 13:29

Guys...am hoping to have a final email out to you all later on today with timings etc..looks ATM like it may be a later start than originally planned so bear with me for now Smile

AnnMumsnet · 14/09/2011 18:19

OK....have just heard the preview will now be 9.30-10.30am so a bit later (should make things a little easier). I am awaiting final confirmation on parking and the meeting point and so will email all attendees as soon as I have this. They have asked no one is too early as the security is very tight (I will need all names of attendees).

AnnMumsnet · 15/09/2011 10:08

details to follow v shortly re parking etc .......

AnnMumsnet · 15/09/2011 14:26
