North Devon Firefly Faery Fayre & Ball -Barbara Hewlett-Beech-interviewed by markantony raines-ghostman

North Devon Firefly Faery Fayre & Ball was inspired by the need for something new and exciting to happen in North Devon. Other parts of the Westcountry and other parts of the British Isles have well established Faery Festivals and Balls but until July 2014 here was nothing of an Otherworldly nature in North Devon at all except perhaps the Weird Weekend which has taken place in North Devon now. NORTH Devon Firefly Faery Fayre & Ball is North Devon's first ever celebration of faery arts, crafts and music. The aim of the event in addition to celebrating faery culture is to provide an annual fundraising event for our local secondary school The Small School In Hartland which has a maximum intake of 40 pupils and provides excellent individual tuition and encourages the creative arts .We want to build on the success of the first faery fayre & ball held in Hartland in 2014 which was loved very much by all those who attended and supported the event and with the second event being held at a larger venue, Clovelly village hall on July 18th 2015.This will feature at least 20 stall holders,entertainment for adults and children at the fayre including faery workshops and live music floowed by 4 or 5 live bands in the evening at the faery ball.We are hoping that the event will grow larger from one year to the next and may eventually transform into a faery festival if there is enough support. hope this is okay for you from Babz and Gruffy (organisers of North Devon Firefly Faery Fayre & Ball ). https://www.facebook.com/pages/North-Devon-Firefly-Faery-Fayre-Ball-Saturday-18th-July-2015/789367564441265?fref=ts
