Magic and wonder comes to Arley

MAGIC and wonder will be attracting the youngsters at Arley Hall's Wizard Week starting this Saturday.

Children of all ages can enjoy a spell-binding schedule of activities, including a daily Alpaca Trek led by Khamikhah Guy, treasure hunts, mask making and magic shows.

There will also be the opportunity to learn more about owls, buzzards and eagles with Jane Hemmingway, or make whirling wizards and broomsticks with Janet Bradshaw.

Scottie the magician will be on hand each day to share his magic tricks, while a musical workshop with the Whistle Man completes the programme next Friday.

The Wizard Week commences with the Walled Garden Theatre production of Alice in Wonderland on Saturday, with two performances, midday and 2.30pm.

Tickets are £5 for adults, with an opportunity to purchase half price garden tickets for children.

Special activity days take place from Wednesday, August 17, until Friday, August 19, from 11am until 4pm.

Admission for an adult with two children, aged five to 12, is £6 and includes entry to the gardens, the walks, magic show and demonstrations.

There is a small additional charge for the mask making, treasure hunts and face painting.
