Event organiser Karen Kay from Penzance in Cornwall says, "After the success of last years festival, I still continue to be amazed by the amount of people who like faeries! These little beings of folklore are embedded in the hearts of many people, and 3 wishes Faery Fest is a way of celebrating our love for the faerie relams in a magical festival atmosphere. It's a chance for everyone to dress up, or down! and have fun! Faeries are free creatures who like to express themselves through play, song and dance, and the faery festival is the perfect way to do exactly that.."

There will be 3 days and nights of music and performers, free faery workshops, walkabout performers, faerie fashion shows, the Midsummer march of the male fae, a chance for the chaps to don their horns and hoofs and parade for the lady faeries!
