THIS Saturday and Sunday (15 and 16 August) the Dean Heritage Centre (DHC) will be overrun with delightfully mischievous dragons.

Wizzywig the Wizard and Ermentrude the Witch will be returning to the Centre to introduce their European baby dragons, hatched from their favourite Dragon sanctuary in the Welsh Marches.

The magical pair will ignite imaginations with exciting myths and tails and enthral visitors with a colourful and musical Dragon procession.

Commenting on their visit, Ermentrude said: “Take a seat and let your imagination loose as we weave our words into fascinating stories. We have tales both traditional and original from all quarters of the globe, designed to enchant kids and adults alike.

Our dragon procession with our gorgeous red beastie is full on fun. There’s plenty for the wee ones too, hot on the dragon’s heels with colourful flags and lots of noise!”

There will also be the chance to meet Children’s author and illustrator, Rachel Austin, who will be reading from her new book, The Company of Dragons. Children will have the chance to win one of Rachel’s handmade dragons, based on one of the characters from her enchanting new tale.

Dragon festival activities are all included in standard admission to the DHC. Details can be found at www.deanheritagecentre.com.
