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.
The majestic and leafy surrounds of Adelaide Botanic Garden adds yet more magic to this delightful Australian Shakespeare Companyperformance.
“Fairytastic! I took my three children to this event and it was the most magical time of our whole school holiday. The fairies were so believable and the songs made all the grown ups so happy.”
“A sweet and fun show for the little ones,” Herald Sun
