Madame Flutterby & Scarecrow

Join us as Circus Fungus’ charming Madame Flutterby, butterfly tamer extraordinaire, and her dear friend Scarecrow stop by to say hello and look for the perfect plants for their new flower garden. A fun and festive feast for the eyes and imagination, these wild and whimsical characters magically spring to life, cultivating mirth and merriment wherever they go.

Stories on Wheels

Stories on Wheels is an original street theatre storytelling act with tales brought to life by a comic performer using beautifully illustrated picture cards displayed in a magnificent miniature wooden stage attached to the back of a vintage bicycle. Inspired by a traditional Japanese travelling storytelling show called Kamishibai (literally "paper theatre"), several short stories are told with music, dramatic action, and audience interaction. You've never been told a story this way before!

Ivy, the Garden Sprite

Ivy is a wood nymph on the "sprite" side of life. Merrily she skips around telling captivating stories, and in a swirl of fairy dust she's gone, leaving you smiling and believing... she just can't wait for the fairies' midnight ball!

Foresta

Protector of nature, Foresta walks high amongst the trees to brings you good karma, earthy and serene wishes. Let yourself sway in the wind with this gentle fairy.
