Our “Great Dragon Egg Quest” brought out the bravest explorers and most promising young sorcerers from across the land. If you missed out (or just want to relive the adventure), here’s a recap of the enchantment that unfolded.

The Quest: Unleashing the Magic

The challenge was set, Ember the Dragon had hidden three giant, mystical eggs deep within our folly. These weren’t your average chocolate eggs; each was a huge, vibrant dragon’s egg! Each one also held a vital fragment of an ancient incantation!

Families braved the labyrinth, navigating through the Temple of the Underworld to track them down. Watching everyone piece together the full spell was a highlight for us; there’s nothing quite like the sound of a hundred “words of power” being spoken around the grounds!

Meeting the Masters of Magic

Once the spell was mastered, explorers headed to St Cuthbert’s to meet Rolmi, our Dragon Trainer, for a quick progress check.

Once complete, it was time for the main event: an audience with Stoln Cairngorm, the Grand Wizard.

Stepping into the Wizard’s chamber and seeing his chest filled with hundreds of chocolate eggs was a wonder for any onlooker. Those whose spells were spoken correctly were granted access to the enchanted chest and were able to take a well-earned chocolate treasure!

To top it all off, our resident Knight, Sir Kastor Telford, was on hand to guide everyone safely through the graveyard and back to the froggy fountain, ensuring the adventure ended with big smiles and even bigger stories.

If you joined us this Easter, we loved having you. If you missed the Wizard, Dragon Trainer, or Knight, remember they will be back in June for Wizard Weekend, 27th and 28th!

Once upon a time (about 25 years ago, to be exact), a curious little place called The Forbidden Corner opened its gates. Since then, it has been a home of wonder, surprises, and laughter for all who dared to step inside.

And now… we’ve just celebrated our 25th Birthday! 🎉

What a marvellous two-day event it was. Families wandered through our twisting paths, giggling at the mischief around each corner. We heard the most heart-warming tales, parents who once ran through our mazes as children now chasing after their own little adventurers, and even grandparents proudly showing their grandkids the secrets they once discovered long ago. The magic has truly passed through generations, and that, more than anything, made our birthday sparkle brighter than ever.

Of course, our enchanted friends joined the celebration too. Wizard Stoln Cairngorm was delighted to meet new faces (and sneak a spell or two). Rolmi the Dragon Trainer proudly showed off her baby dragon, Cinder, who was more than happy to receive some attention. Around the park, some of our other curious characters popped up, each with a grin and a story to share, often handing out our party hats.

As the day drew to a close, we were left with full hearts and smiling faces, dreaming of what adventures the next 25 years will bring. If the past is anything to go by, there will be laughter, surprises, and more than a little mischief hiding in the hedges.

So here’s to the next chapter of our story. Thank you for being part of our tale so far. The Forbidden Corner would be nothing without its brave explorers, curious children, and joyful families.

Until we see you for your next adventure… ✨

🧙‍♂️ Wizards Weekend – A Magical Success! 🏰✨

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our enchanting Wizards Weekend at The Forbidden Corner! From curious visitors to costumed characters, the event was a magical success, and we’re so grateful to all who helped bring the magic to life. The wizard Stoln Cairngorm made so many young adventurers his apprentices, honouring them with a scroll for completing the quest and a badge to recognise their standing!

Our wonderful wizard absolutely loved meeting all of you! After such a magical weekend, he’s already deep in his dusty scrolls, conjuring up even more excitement for the coming late-night summer opening. 🪄

Meanwhile, our noble knight has set off on a brave new quest, promising to return with tales of daring adventure. The fair maiden is wandering the nearby woods, collecting inspiration (and wildflowers!) to bring even more beauty to our hidden garden corners 🌸🌿.

The jester? Well, he’s still up to his usual tricks, especially in the kitchens! If your lunch went missing… You know who to blame! 🤡🍰

Our merchant has packed up their wares and is now travelling to distant lands, searching for even more magical merchandise to bring back later this summer. Keep your eyes peeled!

Over in the dragon stables, the Dragon Trainer is beaming with pride, young Ember has taken flight! Just in time, too, as little Cinder and Scorch are proving to be quite the handful. 🐉🔥

Though our characters are off on their own adventures, they’ve all vowed to pop in from time to time over the holidays. And the best news? They’ll all be returning for our 25th Birthday party on August 14th & 15th of August – it’s going to be an event you won’t want to miss! 🎉🎈
