Enchantment in the evening

For a few nights a year a local park is turned into a theatre of enchantment. Children and adults walk with fairies and magical creatures in the Celtic Twilight.




The trees and plants a lit with beautiful colours and the fairies play music in the Palm houses .....




and dance for our entertainment.


















This year the children dressed up and we took some friends to talk to the smoke breathing Dragon, the Wish Fairy and an enormous and very cheeky Troll.


Our Enchanted evening walk through the trees was lit in spectacular colours.




We brought candle lanterns to light the way and ate warm honeyed cashews.

You had to be quick and alert to catch a glimpse of some of the Fairie Folk.


The tree pixies were our favourites.
Such amazing puppets which were so expressive and beautifully made.



The tree lady towered over us at nearly ten foot tall but was so elegant and graceful.
We definately plan be visiting the Fairies again next year to celebrate Autumn.
