SKYLANDERS TO JOIN LOLLIBOP
FESTIVAL
LolliBop, in partnership with John Lewis, is returning to Regent's
Park this summer, with a line up designed to delight mini festival goers.
Billed as The Big Bash for Little People, the event takes place between August
17 and 19 and is aimed at children up to the age of 10.
Smash hit video game Skylanders
will be on site for the full three days giving kids the chance
to better get to know their favourite Skylanders and to visit the magical
Skylands – in real life!
The
fun-filled Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure Arena Tour will provide
visitors with a wealth of interactive and entertaining activities including a
chance to be
amongst the first in the world to have a look and play of Skylanders Giants. There will be two Giants statues showcasing
brand new characters – a huge photo opportunity! Families will also experience the Portal
of PowerTM Stage and Play Podium where visitors will be encouraged to climb the podium throughout the day
for epic Skylanders play-offs and the chance to win a special prize.
Also added to the LolliBop line up - direct from their massively
successful live show at the Empire in Leicester Square - the Go! Go! Go! Show will be bringing their
dynamic blend of catchy pop tunes, easy to learn dances, magic and comedy to
the live arena at Lollibop. Expect lots of fun and loads and loads of laughs!
The ‘LolliBop Live’ stage will play host to some of the hottest names
in kids entertainment with musical performances from the likes of the ZingZilla's, Jassa Aluwahlia (Art
Attack) and The Mr Men & Little Miss
Party Roadshow. TV favourites Dick
and Dom will also take to the stage to entertain crowds with their unique
blend of music and games.
Celebrating its first year in the West End, Shrek the Musical will also make a special appearance with a
performance from the award-winning show (Sunday 19 only).
In the Lollipaladium, see the story of The Gruffalo brought to life on the stage with plenty of audience
interaction. CBeebies favourite, Mister
Maker will be on hand to demonstrate his unique arts and crafts skills.
Mister Maker is a real life character who gets inspiration to make art
from everything around him. Packed full of stimulating ideas, set in his own
fantasy art world, prepare to expect the unexpected!
The ‘LolliBop Kitchen‘ is an exciting new area, where LolliBoppers will have the chance to learn new skills from live demonstrations and interactive workshops, featuring popular blogger My Daddy Cooks.

City at LolliBop, which will include a Wacky Races obstacle course for
under 5’s, where children can be the first to try out a brand new range of
Balance and Apollo kids bikes. For older kids, highlights include a BMX stunt
display and demo area.
Other new areas include: ‘LolliBop Animal Curiosities’, which features
animals including a polar bear, a dinosaur and gorillas! ‘The Disco Shed‘
which will have mini boppers (and parents!) dancing the day away and ‘The
Village Green‘ - the perfect spot to chill out and enjoy some street theatre.
Back by popular demand, the Science

expanded area and dedicated Science Zone.
For pre-schoolers, the ‘3ft & Under’ area is also back.
