On Thursday 7 November 2019, Magic Lantern’s director, Matthew Sanders, and founder, Diana Schomberg, accepted a JM Barrie Members’ Award from Action for Children Arts in the Delfont Room of the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. Their patron, children’s author and illustrator James Mayhew made a beautiful speech in their honour before presenting them with the award.

We are proud and thrilled to be recognised by such an important organisation as Action for Children’s Arts but also honoured to be sharing the afternoon with incredible fellow award winners as Sir Philip Pullman, Breathe Arts, Leeds Lieder and Amanda Glover.
