Get drawing with our Inkheart competition!

This Christmas, what if every story you read became real?

To celebrate our Christmas production Inkheart, we’re running a competition to get young people aged 8 – 16, reading and drawing.

Adapted from Cornelia Funke’s brilliant, worldwide best-selling fantasy adventure novel for children, Inkheart follows the adventures of Meggie, finds herself bang in the middle of the kind of story she’s only ever read about in books.

To enter our competition, we’d like you to draw your favourite character from a book on our downloadable competition sheet (sheets are also available at Box Office). Once you’ve finished your masterpiece, submit it in one of the ways listed below.

From now until Fri 9 Dec, we’ll pick one lucky person to win a copy of Cornelia Funke’s novel, Inkheart, each week. Then on Wed 9 Dec, we’ll pick an overall winner who’ll get: a family ticket to our production of Inkheart, a family meal at HOME, and the chance to meet Inkheart author Cornelia Funke on Sun 13 Dec.

To submit your entry (along with your name and contact details):
