THIS EVENT IS NOT SOLD OUT. ONLINE TICKETS ARE NOT AVAILABLE BUT TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM THE BOX OFFICE IN THE YOUTH ZONE.
A terrifying vision of an alternative history of Nazi occupied Britain lies at the heart of the Young Lions series. The “What if…?” scenario of the novels leads to chaos and carnage when young men and women join the British Resistance and take up arms against the hated German occupiers. If you like suspense and adventure come along and calculate the body count. We will be discussing the ideas and inspiration behind the series, exploring the stories of the anti-Nazi Resistance movement and making model soldiers.
Ages 10 upwards
