The King cannot rule without his Royal Pants. He has a pair for every occasion: coronation pants (he can’t be crowned without them), organic pants (edible in royal emergencies) and even inflatable space-pants (because one never knows when they might come in handy). But in a boxer-shorts blunder at the Royal Mail, the King’s undies have been posted to his subjects nationwide! With his Y-fronts gone wandering, how will the King possibly cope?
There will be the King’s Pants to decorate, royal sensory worlds to explore, as well as regal, scented play dough. Alternatively, you could become King or Queen yourself for the morning. We are really looking forward to seeing you.
