For
one weekend in May, a partnership between Wild Rumpus and the Forestry
Commission is bringing a fairy-tale world to life. Families can explore three
paths of the naturally beautiful woodland, each telling the story of a
traditional English fairy-tale. Families can follow Tattercoats on her journey
from rags to riches, see how they fare against the quest of The Three Heads in
the Well and become enchanted by the plight of The Earl Mar’s Daughter.
All the stories are now available
online to read or listen to, so that families have an opportunity to
discover what’s in store before they arrive to journey to the King’s Ball at
the centre of the forest. Incorporating theatrical performance, music, visual
art and dance, this new event from Wild Rumpus aims to create an enchanting
adventure that won’t soon be forgotten.
Along
the way, the audience will help to create their very own new Fairy Tale, with
help from the Manchester Children’s Literature Festival, and will create a
marvellous nest sculpture that will live on in the forest long after the magic
has faded. Partnerships with Northern Rail and Creative Tourist mean when
families travel to the event by train, their adventure will begin with
activities weaving some magic on the trains from Manchester and Chester.
