IT’S SHOWTIME at the Royal Gunpowder Mills!!
Get ready for a magical, laugh-out-loud live performance the whole family will love!
Join our expert children’s entertainers The Magical Story Elves in an interactive story show packed with music, dancing, and high-energy fun. When the Easter Fairy is put in charge of finishing the Easter eggs, her spell goes very wrong… and the eggs are accidentally scattered across different dimensions!
Now it’s up to the Fairy — with the help of the children — to travel through magical worlds to retrieve them. Along the way, they’ll meet a brave Spider Hero, a sparkling Princess, and of course the lovable Easter Bunny himself!
The audience must complete challenges, shout magical spells, and help save Easter before the Bunny returns from his important duties. Will they get all the eggs back in time?
Perfect for ages 3–8 (but all welcome), this fully interactive show is filled with adventure, imagination, and Easter magic — the ideal seasonal treat for families.
On the day, you will be able to take part in an egg hunt, explore all our site has to offer, and return free of charge on other open weekend days, including our Pirate Adventure Family Fun Days.
