Legendary Faery Festival a huge success in Llangollen
There was an array of activities available, including free wand-making, circus skills workshops, storytelling, live music on the Dragon Stage, and the chance to meet the Fairy Bears and Unicorn.
Visitors could also ride the vintage funfair or browse stalls of jewellery, fey clothes, dolls and figurines, candles, wood furniture, crystals and much more.
It was also the perfect opportunity to dress up like a fairy from head to foot with gowns, wands, cloaks, tiaras and footwear, not to mention wigs and other accessories.
Saturday evening welcomed a Grand Faery Ball where anyone over 16 could put on their fairy finery to dance the night away. Guests were treated to a well-stocked bar at the foyer.
Prior to the event, organiser Tink Bell insisted that ticket prices would remain the same as previous years, despite rising costs to host the much-loved event.

Anansi the Spider
This review is from 2019. Anansi the Spider returns in 2025. Anansi the trickster spider went global a long time ago. But Justin Audibert's inaugural production in charge of the Unicorn takes folklore's most famous arachnid right back to his roots. Under Sadeysa Greenaway-Bailey's sprawling tree set, performers Afia Abusham, Sapphire Joy and Juliet Okotie file on clutching djembe drums, wearing West African clothes and accents as they launch into a funny, energetic trio of tales. In the first act, Anansi steals the world's wisdom, only to reflect that this might have been a rather unwise decision; in the second he blags some vegetables from a green, er, fingered snake and cons a series of unfortunate other animals into paying the steep price demanded for the veg; the third hops to modern London – this time Anansi is a chancer who concocts an elaborate scheme to bag himself two dinners and ends up falling flat on his face. The three women divvy up three Anansi roles for a funny and lively show for ages three to seven that's essentially old-fashioned storytelling, done with pace and care. There are no splashy spider costumes, but they're not necessary – the young audience get that each woman is a different facet of Anansi. And if it's mostly about the power of their words, then engaging music and lighting switches up the mood when small attention spans threaten to wander. There's also some sublime physicality, be that Anansi teetering precariously up the enormous tree set, or the confetti 'wisdom', scattered into an excited crowd.
