Little Oxplorers’ Fairy Door Trail

Little Oxplorers’ Fairy Door Trail

Date of Adventure: 2 Aug, 2023

Our annual Fairy Door Trail is back at the Trap Grounds Nature Reserve runs throughout August. Every summer for the past 5 years we have put on a magical trail for the whole community to enjoy and every year we have more doors, more fairies, more fairy post-boxes (your little ones LOVE these!) and more magic sprinkled around to enjoy.

We receive so many messages about our trail and it’s such a highlight of our year – this is our way of saying thank you for your continued support, we so appreciate it.

Feel free to buy me a (strong!) coffee, it will help fuel my adventures near and far. Support can come in many form though: sharing my website in your school WhatsApp group or liking a Facebook post is equally appreciated.
