The Victorian era saw an increase in the interest in fairies and elves as settlers looked back to the folk tales of their ancestors. Fairies and elves were both good and bad, pranksters and helpful. They were the guardians of nature, woodland animals and gardens. They were helpful if you respected them, but caused problems when you didn't. In this workshop children will create their own fantastical woodland village using natural and recycled materials.

Programs run from 9:30am - 12pm. The cost is $20 per attendant and pre-registration is required. For  ages 6-12. Children are encouraged to bring their own snacks.
