Winckley Square gardens is to be closed off for the weekend and transformed into a Wizard of Oz themed spectacular.

The live theatre show is dubbed as a ‘magical interactive children’s outdoor theatre experience’.

Events Live are taking over the newly renovated Gardens for the first of its kind performance.

Children and parents are taken along the yellow brick road during the journey around the gardens.

Kids become part of the show and lead with the characters to each scene – and get involved every step of the way.
