Today we had the pleasure of running fairy crown making workshops at a lovely family festival at Gressenhall Museum, the Festival on the Farm. We all arrived before 8 am to set up and decorate the Fairyland Trust area and medieval workshop tent, we were located in a lovely grassy area next to the orchards, alongside drumming workshops, knitting workshops, storytellers and much much more. Come 10 am the queues were mounting outside the festival entrance and we were costumed, decorated and ready to spread some nature magic. Our set up was much helped by the fine weather.
We ran four crown making workshops throughout the day, after the first one we were consistently booked up, with waiting lists. We were pleased to see a few familiar faces from the Fairy Fair and Real Halloween who had come and found us as they loved the workshops they had attended before. We also met lots of new friends, many of whom were keen to come and see the magic of the Real Halloween and Fairy Fair.
See Abbie preparing Hawthorn sprigs, said to be the Fairy Queens favourite, ready for the hordes of young crown makers to adorn their crowns
