Gloria Darling is thrilled to be the Fairy Godmother and sparkling host of Liberty Festival. She will be there to greet you with a warm smile and is ready to answer any questions you might have about the festival or life in general. Gloria will be here all weekend dispensing wishes, answering questions, encouraging fun, giving advice and inviting you to share your hopes and dreams by writing or drawing them – and we will decorate the venue with all of your ideas for a brighter future! As the weekend goes on, we look forward to filling the foyer with amazing thoughts, words, images and the magic of our collective imaginations!

What will you experience?

A performer in a sparkly dress will say hello when you come into the venue. You will be asked if you would like to write or draw your hopes and dreams on paper and they will be displayed in the foyer so everyone can read each other’s ideas.
