Celebrating International Fairy Weekend
A Weekend of Castle Fairy Magic
International Fairy Weekend transformed the trail into a sparkling gathering of fairy friends, tiny visitors and families exploring the castle grounds with imagination and gentle wonder.
Special Events Across the Trail
Our annual celebration filled the path with guided story moments, fairy greeting spots and interactive stops where children could practise their own magical ways.
- Fairy welcome station at the trail entrance
- Storytelling nooks with lantern light
- Craft corners for wing and wand making
- Guided wanders with fairy trail hosts
Decorations That Sparkled
Flowers, moss, ribbon and tiny lights created a dreamlike setting around the castle, encouraging families to pause, imagine and follow the trail with fresh fairy eyes.
The trail felt alive with fairy magic, and every corner shared a new little surprise.
