The second Uralla Fairy Festival brought a sprinkle of magic to town on Saturday, December 4, with locals and visitors alike dusting off their wings and shaking out their cloaks.

Following on from the success of the inaugural (and top secret) fairy festival held in October 2020, the committee joined forces with the Uralla Rotary Club and a variety of events were held in various locations throughout the Uralla CBD.

"It all started from some very discrete little fairy doors which have been popping up all around the Uralla area over the past few years," a fairy festival committee spokesperson said.

"They can be found in parks, at the base of trees, in tree branches, on people's front fences, in gardens, at front doors to people's home, along walkways, shop fronts - practically anywhere and everywhere fairies go."

The fairy committee organised a treat of magical activities including wizard potions, yoga for the wee folk, fairy and wizard craft, build a fairy garden and flower crown making workshops.

Perhaps the most adventuress was the Quidelf matches, where teams of five fairies and wizards on broomsticks competed to catch the Golden Snitch.

There was also a hula hoop competition, neighbourhood centre fairy treasure hunt, spot the fairy competition, fairy and wizard fancy dress parade, face painting and market stalls.
