Wander along the woodland fairy trail at Gibside this Christmas

Can you find out about the lives of the woodland fairies at Gibside?

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The gardeners at Gibside keep losing seeds and misplacing plant pots, but they’re sure it’s the work of mischievous fairies. Help them discover clues on a journey around the garden, study the activity map and explore secret nooks. Find toadstool seats for impish elves and miniature laundry lines for playful pixies. If you truly believe in magic, you might just capture a glimpse of the enchanted creatures hiding in the woodlands.
