The Enchanted World of Dragons

These mythological creatures appear in literature and history throughout the ages and virtually every culture in the world. The carved dragons on the front of Viking long ships for instance, where they believed dragons could ward off evil on their long voyage across the sea.

Looking closely at Dragon art work, compendiums and stories based around these mythical beasts, we will become expert hunters on our trip to Kilve beach, discover dragon runes and learn complex Kennings.

If you have a strange fascination for dragons and want to take home with you your very own dragon egg, compendium and the fantastical world full of dragons, then join us on our magical, enchanted weekend.
