If he does win the title of Ireland’s BFG, then he and a family member of choice will be invited to Dublin to be our very special guests at the Irish Gala Preview Screening of The BFG, taking place on Sunday 17 July.

The film, based on Roald Dahl’s timeless children’s classic, is a story that’s adored by adults and children all over the globe, and the news that one of the world’s greatest directors, Steven Spielberg, is now bringing it to life on the big screen, is cause for celebration.

Just check out this super sneak peek. It looks absolutely magical…
