Spring Fairytale
Hoping to make some memories with your family during May Half Term? Join us at Gressenhall for a Spring Fairytale! This event is made with young families in mind - all about the joy of stories that we've loved for generations. Meet costumed characters from favourite tales and take part in their themed activities, from a princess party in the Farmhouse to sweets with the Wicked Witch in Cherry Tree Cottage. Special guests Norfolk Libraries are leading Bounce & Rhyme sessions, BSL Storytime sessions are running in partnership with Little Bear Club, and our Flax and Fleece Project will be spinning a good yarn down on the Farm! Seek out some magic on one of our trails around the site from Cinderella's mice in the museum to missing magical objects. Look out for fairies in our beautiful woodland, orchard and river walk - or even in Art Attack, 1-4pm... As a bonus for early birds, free face-painting 10am-12noon; first come first served! And of course, fancy dress is more than welcome.
Price
Included with admission; free entry applies for some, see admissions page for more details.
