This Christmas take a walk through a giant pop-up storybook version of The Nutcracker at W5. The classic tale of "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice" has become a Christmas favourite, packed with magical moments. W5 has adapted this story to create an enchanting Christmas exhibition featuring six original scenes, which have been designed as a giant illustrated pop-up storybook. These scenes have been brought to life by the award-winning Belfast-born illustrator P.J. Lynch especially for this exhibition. For more information CLICK HERE
