About the show

“A sweet and fun show for the little ones”

The Herald

Join the magical fairies as they go on an exciting musical adventure!

In an enchanting world of song and dance, the adventurous Tinkerbell meets up with the fairies from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Together, the cheeky Mustardseed, fluttery Moth, daring Cobweb and sweet Peaseblossom go on a magical quest with Tinkerbell. The audience is invited to dress up and join in the fun! Come as a fairy, an elf, a Jedi, a pirate or even a superhero! Everyone is welcome to join this sparkling adventure with a special visit to ‘Bubble Land’ to help Tinkerbell and her new fairy friends find her lost wings.

Tickets to The Dream Fairies include entry into Kew Gardens, an idyllic afternoon of outdoor theatre and nature awaits you.

Are there chairs to sit on?

Chairs are not supplied either by the Production Company or Venue; however you are welcome to bring your own picnic chairs.

We recommend bringing a low-rise camping chair, no more than approximately 15cm elevated from the ground. However, if you wish to bring a standard height chair, we ask you sit towards the back or side so you do not obstruct the view of other patron’s. Staff on site will be able to assist you.

What should I bring? (Family Theatre)

It is not essential to bring anything with you, but there are a few things that may make your visit more pleasant...

  • Dressing up is always encouraged at our family productions - wear your best fairy, elf, pirate, superhero or Jedi ensemble!
  • A raincoat in case of inclement weather. (Umbrella's cannot be used during the performance)
  • A picnic blanket to sit on. We advise using one with a waterproof base in case of damp ground.
  • A portable camping chair if you prefer. Chairs over 15cm in height will be positioned to the back of the seating area so the view of other guests is not obstructed.
  • A picnic to enjoy during the show.

What if it has been raining and the ground is too wet to sit on?

If it's safe to do so, the show will go on! We hope that if it has been raining, you will still join us for some fun.

It it's a little muddy, we suggest bringing portable chair or blanket to sit on - one with a waterproof lining is ideal.

Guests are also encouraged to wear comfortable all weather clothing and shoes.
