Founding Fairies and Troublesome Trolls

For Young Fairies, Trolls, Witches & Wizards

Do you have a young Fairy or Troll? How about a Witch or Wizard? When the Brightworth’s School of Magic teachers are away, the Fairies and Trolls keep things running smoothly… most of the time!

On select days from this April Half Term from the 15th April, Hedingham Castle will open its magical doors for everyone to meet the Founding Fairies and Troublesome Trolls.

You will take part in their specialist activities; from troll anatomy to crafting fairy houses. We also need your help to find the magical crystals within the grounds of the castle before the fairy catcher does. You may even have to wake a sleeping Ogre! The doors will open twice each day, morning 10.30am to 1pm and in the afternoon from 1.30pm to 4pm. The entire event lasts around 2 and a half hours.

The event is aimed at children from the age of 4 up to the age of 12, although older children can still attend.

Hedingham Castle

Entry into the Castle Keep

Set in the stunning Hedingham Castle and grounds, Brightworth’s School of Magic uses the entire Castle Keep. Tea, coffee and snacks are available on the middle floor, with the rest of the castle available for you and your little Witches and Wizards to explore.

After your introduction you will have 2 hours to explore the castle and complete the activities, don’t worry as there is plenty of time to do everything Brightworth’s has to offer.

Fairy Finding

Find the Crystals before the Fairy Catcher

A dastardly Fairy Catcher and his assistant have been spotted near the castle. He is on the hunt for fairies and their magical crystals, visit his tent and see if you can throw him off the trail. Using your special map make sure you find them before he does!

Exploring the grounds of the castle you will need to look high and low for the magical crystals and fairy houses, special fairy magic even makes the crystals glow! Although you may have to wake a sleeping ogre to find them all!
