SIX-YEAR-OLD Emily Baker will be off to see the Royal Shakespeare Company's magical production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, after she won a Journal competition.

A picture by Emily, who lives in Middle Littleton, near Evesham, was picked as the winning entry in the under 10 category by actor Patrice Naiambana, who plays Aslan in the family show.

The winner in the over 10 category was 11-year-old Kate Arnold from North Littleton.

Both girls will receive a family ticket for four to see the show, which runs until February 9. They will also be given a family meal at Quarto's restaurant, a CD of the show and get a chance to meet some of the cast after the performance.

The RSC has also decide to award two runners-up prizes of family tickets to the show to Amy Holt, aged 7, from Stratford, and Claire Gailey, 11, from Redditch.

Patrice was so impressed with the quality of the entries that he is going to send a note thanking all those who took part.
