Holly Mansbridge (aged 7) won tickets to see The Woeful Second World War in the Young Archeologist Magazine.

"I liked all of the 3D. When the bullets came it looked like they were coming out of the screen and exploding on me. When they were at the farm a cow sticked its tongue out and licked us! I was given a pencil and a programme signed by the actors. The whole thing was fantastic. I liked going behind the stage. Behind the stage the ceiling was really high. The gas mask I tried on was a bit smelly."
