The festival’s 5th edition will be held just after the Easter holidays, on April 29-30 and May 1, in a magical, spring spirit. Fairy tales will come to life, games in enchanting gardens and age-old activities will take place throughout the three days enticing families, friends and anyone in between.

“Dress up as your favourite fairy tale character and experience a day of adventure and enchantment in the natural surroundings of the botanical park,” adds CyHerbia. Numerous games and activities in the Herb Gardens, Labyrinth and Enchanted Forest for the whole family will take place including stilt-walking, maypole dancing, archery and javelin throwing as well as adventures in the maze and the fairy village.
