About

Wyvernwood is an immersive story-led experience near Colchester, Essex, for families with children aged 2-12.

Guests should be prepared to leave all their worries behind when they step through the Magic Portal and enter the magical Kingdom of Wyvernwood to experience an enchanting story about fierce dragons, fabulous fairies, a warrior princess, spell-blinding wizards, menacing goblins, magical unicorns and our heroic sea captain - all brought to life every day through our talented actors who welcome guests with an opening ceremony and make everyone feel special throughout the day. There are story-telling sessions and unique interactions with all of the characters, all day long.

Play structures include a 9m high Enchanted Castle; Goblins’ Tunnels; Magic Wishing Well; Dragon Karts; Bouncing Pillow; an adventure trail with puzzles and riddles to solve; a maize maze; and the Wellbeing Woods where the fairies and wizards reside. 

Get children away from screens, into nature and have fun as a family. Enjoy the fabulous food kiosks or bring a picnic and delight in the Treasure Trove, a shop full of treats and gifts which reflect the Wyvernwood experience.

Open from 10am-5pm daily, during school holidays, from Saturday 1 April 2023. Read our fantastical 5* reviews.
