Designed to delight and inspire imagination in children aged 4-10 and their grown-ups, the Festival of Fairytales will be set against the special backdrop of the Garden Museum’s home of a medieval church and gardens.
Children will be free to explore the festival and enjoy pop-up performers, creative arts workshops, live storytelling and theatrical performances, or get their hands dirty exploring the power of nature and gardening. Fancy dress is optional but encouraged: children can come dressed as their favourite fairytales or folktale characters, flowers and fairies, dragons and dragonflies, moon and stars, giant peaches and poisoned apples, ugly bugs and woodland creatures.
Made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England, the 2024 festival will be guest curated by Originary Arts, a Brighton-based collective of creatives specialising in leading learning, participation and playful projects across the UK and beyond.
