Faery Trails at Strawberry Hill House & Garden

Friday 22 August - Sunday 24 August, Strawberry Hill House & Garden.

Strawberry Hill House is located in 268 Waldegrave Rd, Twickenham TW1 4ST (Image supplied)

First, the faeries need your help in the garden! A curse has been put onto their woodland by a group of pixies and they need your help to lift it with faery magic. Hunt through our secluded gardens, creeping around ancient oaks and peeking under the bushes to uncover hidden fairy doors & clues. Pick up your Faery Trail Guide for £2 in the café and once you've completed your adventure return to pick up your fairy treat.

Next come inside to spot faeries in the magical rooms of Strawberry Hill House. Entrance to the house is free for under-5s and £7.25 for kids aged 6-16. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Dress up in your faery or wizard gear, and don't forget to snap a magical #FaerieSelfie to share with the world! The house and garden are open 7 days a week during school holidays and Saturday-Wednesday at other times. Garden entry is free.

The Supersize at The Oak

Saturday 23 August, The Oak, 7pm start.

The Oak is located in 98 Richmond Rd, Kingston upon Thames KT2 5EN (Image supplied)

We are the supersize, a 3-piece rock band from South West London. We've been gigging around South and West London since 2021 and we bring a crowd. We are drums, bass and guitar. And we all sing.

We play groovy, rocky, singy indie music that excites us from the '80s and '90s up to now, stuff from Blur to Oasis, The La's to The Cure, Otis Redding to Stevie Wonder, The Clash to The StrokesPulp to the Stereophonics, INXS to ZZ Top

We play hard and we have a lot of fun. We think you will too.
