Laura's girls enjoyed meeting Ruby the Rainbow Magic Fairy
The winners of our recent Rainbow Magic competition were in for a treat as they set off to London to see the Pink Carpet Premiere of Return to Rainspell Island, the new animation featuring the Rainbow Magic Fairies, stars of the bestselling books for children.
Orchard Books, publishers of the Rainbow Magic Books, had a great day out planned for all the winners, as Laura Williams, who used her winning tickets to take her Rainbow Magic-mad daughters to see the premiere reports;
“On arriving in London for the Return To Rainspell Island premiere, Sophia and Phoebe were ridiculously excited! Inside the cinema there was a bright pink carpet to walk along and giant pretty flowers ‘growing’ along the way which the girls loved.
Ruby the Red Fairy was there to greet everybody and she gladly stood with Sophia and Phoebe to have a photo taken! Inside the cinema there was a bottle of water and a bag of popcorn on every seat, which thrilled the girls. Ruby then appeared to introduce the film and the lights went out.
Orchard Books laid on plenty of treats and surprises throughout the day, including this magical photo
The film was excellent! A lovely story and the girls could not stop talking about it once it had finished as we made our way upstairs to the party.
They were asked to have their photo taken on the way in. We wondered what it was for as they just had to stand against a green background, but all became clear when they appeared on a screen and were ‘magically’ surrounded by fairies and a bright colourful background.
We were given a ticket and had to collect the photos once they were printed. There was a large one and two small ones and we were informed that later on they would be given a snow globe to put the small pictures in! Brilliant!
The party was gorgeous! With glittery face painting – a huge hit with every girl there! A magician walked round performing tricks to the children. Ruby was there once again, making lovely balloon models for everybody.You could colour in pictures of the fairies on a big table.
Sophia and Phoebe were in awe of the food… lots of sandwiches, but also lots of girly party food – chocolate covered strawberries, marshmallows,triangles of bread covered in pink sparkles, little pretty mini cupcakes and pink meringues – truly magical!
It was soon time to go – the girls wanted to stay there forever! There was one more surprise on our way out…. the girls were handed a beautiful colourful canvas ’shopping bag’ each, that had pictures of the Rainbow Magic fairies on and inside were lots of gorgeous goodies – a DVD of the film, two Rainbow Magic books, along with CDs of the stories to also listen to, a pretty glittery snow globe to put the photos in, a huge ’swizzly’ lollipop and a bookmark! The girls were delighted!
It was a beautiful magical day and we thank everyone at hearditintheplayground.com for the best day out ever!”
