Fairhaven-Garden-Childrens-Day

Step into the Fairytale Garden and enjoy The Enchanted Sleep, a new interactive play inspired by Sleeping Beauty and performed by Norwich-based The Greenword Tree. What is behind the bramble hedge?

Children are invited to dress up as their favourite fairytale character and join in the fun. There will be two performances at 11.30am to 1.30pm.

The Greenword Tree will be running drama workshops after each performance. There will also be face painting and children’s crafts and a sweet cart. Normal garden entry charges apply: adult £6, concessions £5.50 and child £3.50 (under 5 free).
