Welcome to Goblin's Fairy Tales- a collection of songs and fairytales, to be enjoyed out and about on walks and adventures, or when you are warm and cosy inside.
Episode 3 features a The Fairy Circus, and what happens if it runs away with you...
These songs and stories were created for an outdoor Fairy Trail at Cambo Gardens in Fife, Scotland, which is open for visitors (https://www.cambogardens.org.uk/). You can see the Bog Goblin's Bug Hotel, The Fairy Castle and The Fairy Circus if you visit... just be careful of those Bog Goblins! If you can't make it to the fairy trail, don't worry! You can find fairies everywhere. When you're out and about keep your eyes and ears open. It could be something you see in the corner of your eye, or a rustle in the hedges, whizzing between the branches and whooshing over your head. Listen carefully and you might hear: The hoot of an owl, The flap of a bat, The buzz of a bee, The swoosh of the wind The tipple of the rain on leaves...
This is fairy music, and it means they are near. We hope you enjoy the stories
