The Legendary Llangollen Faery Festival 2018





Looking for somewhere a little magical to take the little ones this summer? Why not give them, and yourselves, a treat by visiting The Legendary Llangollen Faery Festival?

We will be attending for the first time, this year and from what I have seen and heard, it promises to be full of fun, with FREE activities, demonstrations, entertainment and lots and lots of artisan stalls, selling items to suit any taste and pocket! 


It's held over two days, on the 11th and 12th August, amidst the glorious Dee valley? Tickets are reasonably priced and there are lots of things to do for FREE once you are inside! Click HERE for more information on the Festival, ticket prices, etc.

It is a good time to banish all the negative things in your life, things that are holding you back, preventing you from moving forward, and on to better things. A time to truly reflect on what you really want from your time in this life and how to set about achieving them. It represents fertility, not just in the sense of reproduction and birth in the physical sense, but also of giving birth to new ideas and nurturing them into fruition. This is a time to celebrate the new life growing all around us, to bless seeds that are ready
