Magic in the woods at Norfolk Fairy Fair

The Fairy Fair, which raises funds for Fairyland Trust, based in Wells, is taking place over the bank holiday weekend in Bradmoor Woods at West Acre.

The woodland site with many old native trees, between Swaffham and King's Lynn, has proved to be the perfect setting for a gathering that aims to help children discover nature.
