Course programme

Sadly, a great calamity has befallen Higher Holditch Wood. Guy 'Clodhopper' Mallinson and his team of Clodhoppers have unwittingly done a terrible thing ... With all their comings and goings and diggings and bangings they have scared the fairies away.

Now, they didn't mean to and they are very, very sorry, and so they have asked Mo, as a Fairy Ambassadress, to gather some Fairy and Elf helpers togather, to see if the fairies can be persuaded to return ... and so the adventure begins!

On The Day
After an introductory welcome from Fairy Mo the first task will be to make a fairy crown. The rest of the morning will be spent making fairy houses. If the weather is dry, you and your child can go out in to the wood to choose your spot. If it is wet, we can make the houses in the sheltered workshop area and carry them out in to the wood when they are finished. Fairy Mo will provide help, instruction and ideas. You will be supplied with baskets for gathering materials and simple tools (knives, scissors, string, secateurs etc) for use on the day.

After lunch, we will be gathering materials to decorate a photograph frame (twigs, leaves, feather, flowers etc). We will also make a natural wand.

IMPORTANT AND TOP SECRET INFORMATION FOR ADULTS ONLY!

If you decide you would like to join us, please don't say anything to your child. Instead, we will send them a personalised invitation, calling for their help. Also, you will not be able to take your fairy house home (we're leaving them for the fairies), but we will send your child a surprise photograph of their house to put in their frame. On the day you will leave with a decorated frame, crowns and wands.

The day runs from 10.00 and we also supply tea, coffee, soft drinks, biscuits and cake for the morning and the afternoon breaks but you will need to bring your own packed lunch. We aim to stop at 4.00 p.m.

Additional information

Payment options: £95.00 + VAT (£111.63) per adult and child couple. All materials and any tools you will need during the day are supplied within this price.
