Once upon a farm: Willows gets set for magical May half-term

Deygo dragon

Something new is coming to Willows Activity Farm featuring a fairytale twist.

Dragon and Princess Week gets underway on Saturday as the farm park turns into a storybook for the school holidays.

Stars of the show include Dreygo, an 18ft long smoke-breathing dragon with a 15ft wingspan, and the Tower Princess who will be hosting princess parties in her purpose-built palace at Willows.

Willows director Andrew Wolfe said: “We have a magical half-term lined up with Dreygo the dragon making appearances in our outdoor arena and the Princess organising parties at her royal palace throughout the day.”

The two fairytale characters will also be joined by baby dragon, Spyro, and wizard Merlin, who will both be entertaining visitors as Spyro learns how to fly and breathe fire.

Andrew added: “With his bat-like wings, smoke-breathing nostrils, scaly skin, horned head and barbed tail, we’re thrilled that Spyro is bringing some storybook magic to Willows everyday of half term.”

The Tower Princess will be holding tea parties at the royal palace throughout the day where wannabe princesses can dance, dress up and have their photos taken with her. She will also be heading to the indoor theatre at regular intervals where she’ll be singing and dancing for Willows’ visitors.

They also have arts and crafts taking place in the Dragon’s Lair where little ones can get stuck into making sun catchers everyday of the half-term break.

Dragon and Princess Week takes place between Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 31. Tickets include all activities, shows and adventure play and can be purchased in advance online with savings on family tickets.
