Fairytale Farm near Chipping Norton set for Halloween event

Fairytale Farm will welcome families for 'Scarily Ever After: Fairy Tale Villain vs Beast' from October 26 to November 3.

The event will centre around the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast, with a twist.

Visitors will be encouraged to solve the mystery of who the real villain is - the fairy who cast the spell, or the prince who was cursed as a beast.

Guests will also help Beauty to make her decision whether to break the spell or leave the Beast forever.

Families "can take part in acts of kindness and gather enchanted rose petals to help break the curse before the last petal falls," Fairytale Farm said.

There will also be pumpkin carving and crafts at the Beast’s Kitchen Carving Marquee and Castle Crafts Marquee.

The farm’s illuminated evenings will transform it into a "wonderland of light and enchantment as the sun sets each evening".
