This event is hosted by Magical Times. It is advertised as the ultimate mystical weekend and it promises to be something rather special. It is a hidden gem of a festival for faerie folk in the picturesque village of Alfriston in the idyllic Cuckmere Valley. Expect a celebration of all things enchanting.
