There will be characters from children's fantasy stories such as:'Alice in Wonderland, Narnia and Tolkien's tales of the Hobbits'.

"Malvern Community Forest's mission is to establish and maintain a woodland and centre for the educational, health and environmental benefit of the local and wider community, providing ecological and craft knowledge, recreational places and areas for the conservation of indigenous flora and fauna, including threatened, rare and endangered species."

Malvern Community Forest (MCF) will be bringing along 300 saplings to create a magical forest within Priory Park. On the day their aim is to encourage people to buy the trees and plant them around the Malvern area. MCF are trying to raise enough money to register as a charity, they are nearly there, but require £1300 more to comply with the charity Commission criteria.
