About

Embark on a magical story quest through folklore and legend, where you'll meet a Dragon, Unicorn, Griffin, and Mermaid brought to life through curious, enchanted objects.

Inspired by medieval tales, this enchanting exhibition invites families to explore local tales and mythical creatures through storytelling.

With a wide range of mythical creature-related activities and events regularly taking place throughout the school holidays, from family tours and storytelling, there's something for all ages to enjoy.

Colchester Castle, Europe's largest Norman Keep, offers a unique historic setting for a fun family day out.
