Arctic Fever hits the UK.....

December is the season to go Arctic crazy! Christmas is only 5 weeks way and if hadn’t realised it already - the Arctic is certainly the place to be this winter season.

Set deep within the Arctic Circle the cinema version of Philip Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’ trilogy is one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year. The first book, The Golden Compass, which is the American title of Pullman’s novel ‘Northern Lights’ opens in the UK on December 5th. If you’re not familiar with the story then here’s a teaser. The book follows the 12-year-old heroine Lyra Belacqua on her quest to rescue Roger, her friend who has been kidnapped, whilst fighting the forces of the sinister Magisterium, an organisation which condones the abduction of children for experimentation and “intercision” – the surgical removal of their souls!

If all this sounds rather grim don’t switch off. On her quest to save the world Lyra meets a whole host of fantastic characters, including bears, wolves, children, soldiers and Gyptians!
The story is captivating and there is no doubt that if you were a fan of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ then you’re going to love this epic. However what really makes the film such a must see is the stunning visual effects all set in the snows of the icy north, a land of magical wonder which is full of surprises.

Also making an appearance next month is the new ‘Lapland Christmas Experience’ which opens in Kent – yes I did say Kent – which promises to bring a dose of Christmas magic to parents and children alike as they descend on this small section of rural Kent.

Now my question is why settle for second best when you can have the real thing?
