From 3pm until 11pm on Thursday 4 October, members of the public will be able to visit the Hall and give a the boy a (quiet) welcome to the new arrival.

Artistic Director Jean Luc Courcolt revealed that the Little Boy would be heading to Merseyside at a press conference in Liverpool last week

This will be the first opportunity to get up close to the brother of the much-loved Little Girl Giant who has wowed crowds on the two previous Royal de Luxe instalments.
