The New Forest Fairy Festival is set to return for a weekend of enchantment.
The festival, which takes place on August 9 and 10, invites people of all ages to step into a magical world.
Set in the heart of the New Forest, the annual gathering is a celebration of imagination, unity, and nature.
The festival welcomes everyone, from forest witches and moon elves to mushroom sprites and fairies.
The festival features a variety of activities, including live music, workshops, and creative spaces.
Attendees can craft wands, weave flower crowns, learn herbal lore, and discover their inner magic.
There are also healing areas offering yoga, sound baths, talks, and moments of peaceful reflection.
For children, there is a magical realm with fairy theatre, puppet shows, games, and storytelling.
The festival also boasts a fairy market, filled with handmade, sustainable, and mystical wares from artisans.
There is a variety of food and drink options, with plenty of plant-based choices.
Tickets are on sale now at www.newforestfairyfestival.com.
Festival director Holly Norman said: "There’s nothing else quite like it.
"You walk through those gates, and suddenly you’re part of a world where everyone is free to be fully themselves.
"It’s beautiful, it’s safe, it’s wildly fun—and it reminds us that magic is very real when we make it together."
The festival is eco-conscious and encourages visitors to leave no trace, recycle, and tread gently on the land.
