FREE PICTURE: Joanna Lumley Meets Youngsters at Peter Pan Childrens Centre, Dumfries, Sat 24/11/2018: Joanna Lumley visited Moat Brae House in Dumfries to see the restoration work on the house where Peter Pan began. And attended the launch of the Dreams for the Future Festival. The actor and author is patron of the Peter Pan Moat Brae Trust (PPMBT) and has helped raise £5.8 million to restore the beautiful Georgian house and garden which opens next spring (2019) as the new National Centre for Children’s Literature and Storytelling. Dreams for the Future is a pre-opening festival giving a foretaste of what Moat Brae will offer and is part of Scotland’s Year of Young People 2018. It features a series of events from 24 November to 2 December (2018 - see additional press release entitled “Press Release: Peter Pan Childrens Centre Dreams for the Future Festival”). During her visit Joanna met young people including some who are helping organise the festival and who are members of Moat Brae’s young people’s group, the JMB Creatives. She became the first person to use the brightly coloured Storytelling Chair, and read to the young people. Pictured with Joanna in the children’s attic playroom area of Moat Brae House are (left to right) Louise Jones (as Peter Pan), Isla Naish (as The Fairy) and Emilia Chierici-Black (correct, as Wendy, Peter’s friend).
