Step into a world where imagination comes to life and magic lingers in the air…
The Fantastical Magic Festival invites you and your family to escape the everyday and enter an enchanting realm set within the breathtaking grounds of the 11th century Dartington Hall.
With its ancient stone walls, sweeping gardens and hidden woodland corners, this historic estate provides the perfect backdrop for a truly immersive adventure — a place where stories unfold, curious creatures roam, and every path leads to something unexpected.
Across the festival, young adventurers and grown-up dreamers alike can explore a rich tapestry of experiences. Join the Spell & Potion Makers Academy, wander through the Enchanted Market, and lose yourself in the magic of the Tales of the Fantastical Realm. Meet the Owl Guardians of the Realm, be mesmerised by the Bubble Fairy Enchantment, and watch as the Sky Wanderers drift above the crowds. From the Grand Fantastical Parade to hands-on workshops & live music on the Fantastical Sound Stage, there is something waiting around every corner.
This is more than a day out — it’s a chance to create unforgettable memories. Capture magical photo moments beneath ancient trees, alongside mythical characters, and within beautifully styled immersive spaces designed to spark wonder at every turn. Whether you come dressed as a wizard, fairy, knight or curious explorer, you’ll become part of the story. Fantastical Festival is where magic feels real… and it’s an experience you won’t want to miss.
