From 13th September to 4th October 2008, PlayStation will be hosting a series of free creative workshops to celebrate the pre-launch of LittleBigPlanet in the Piccadilly Plaza, Manchester. The family-friendly workshops will also offer the first sneak previews of the year's most talked about community-based videogame.
The pop-up space will be split into three areas inspired by the game for the ultimate LittleBigPlanet experience. The Play and Create sampling areas will give visitors the chance to be one of the first in the country to create levels in the game. Whilst in the LittleBigPlanet Creative Cupboard, the arts and crafts workshops will help to bring your game creations to life. The space will also host an exhibition by local artists Chris Drury, Jonny Dub (Sketch City), Luke Drodz throughout the two weeks.
