Summer Dollshouse Festival 2013

Forget the innocent things of your childhood. Dolls' houses these days are decidedly risque, if one of the ones on display at the UK's largest festival dedicated to them is any indication. The work of 170 craftsmen from around the world highlights the incredible skill and imagination that goes into creating the houses and their contents, and also shows off their creators' ability to reflect trends and stay in touch with contemporary fashions. So, alongside the teeny tiny glass vases, musical instruments, miniature plants and furry animals, you'll also find the Castle, featuring a tattoo parlour, snakeskin kitchen and a hanging bed. Assorted activities include children’s workshops, a ‘Golden Scavenger Hunt’ and the ‘Gingerbread Craft Club’ for children aged 5+.
