The Fairies are coming to Painshill this winter – and they are sprinkling magic everywhere!

Fairy doors are popping up across our woodland once again and, with Christmas coming soon, The Fairies are busy making decorations that will enchant visitors coming to Painshill between 28 November and 11 January.
Follow the trail to discover these delightful doors and take part in workshops and drop-ins giving visitors of all ages opportunities to make Christmas crafts. Plus beautiful gifts in our Shop, and delicious treats in our Tea Room.
Follow the Fairy Doors Trail
The Fairies want to make sure you see all the doors and so they’ve created a special map that you can collect free of charge from the Visitor Centre.
Woodland Words
Adding to the magic, poets Nia Broomhall and Val Harris have written wonderful winter poems that families can enjoy as they follow the Fairy Doors Trail.
