Sometimes you get even more than you wished for...

Aladdin wishes the Princess would notice him, the Princess wishes she could live a normal life, Aladdin's mother wishes she could remember what she came in here for...and there's something very peculiar about that ancient clapped-out rusty thing. (The lamp...not his mother).

Let us whisk you away this Christmas to the town of Shangri-La where the sorcerers are sinister, the caves are full of surprises, and the genies have been bottling things up for a bit.

Corby Library are proud to announce that they have a group ticket for a family of 4 to see this show for FREE! We would like to thank The Core at Corby Cube and its partners for donating these tickets for us to gift.

How to enter: Imagine that you have found a magic lamp. The genie grants you three wishes, but they cannot be used for yourself! Instead, they must be used to help somebody else. This can be a friend, a family member, an animal, a stranger or even the planet.

What would your 3 wishes be?

Collect a form from the Children's Library, fill it in and hand it in to the Library desk for your chance to win!

Opens Monday 19th October
