This family event isn’t a once upon a time story, it’s a happening right now story. At the bottom of Church Street is a door that hasn’t been opened for 100 years. This door leads to the world of Buglite, the only fairy left that hasn’t become a character in a computer game.
A Fairies Tail is a promenade theatrical circus performance piece. The audience follows the show as it moves about the forests of Westport House. Don’t miss this amazing outdoor mix of theatre and aerial circus, suitable for the entire family.
PLEASE NOTE: This is an outdoor event. Audiences are advised to dress appropriately. Performances take place in a forest and are not suitable for prams or those with mobility difficulties
“This is a wonderful performance and it is sure to capture the imagination of children and anyone who is still young at heart."
Helen Moore, Arts Development Manager, Blyth Valley Arts & Leisure
A Fairies Tale is a promenade theatrical performance piece happening in your local park, garden or woods, or any outdoor space that has trees! Come on this journey with Fidget Feet and find out who or what is hiding out in some of the best known children's stories of all time. In 2007 this piece performed in 5 parks throughout North Uk to over 5000 parents and children in 2008 we performed as part of The Eargail Festival and was sold out. This is one of Fidget Feet’s fun, feel good and colorful show suitable for schools, families and anyone with a heart.
