Your best bits from Magic and Mayhem
All the action from Magic and Mayhem 2018, our circus-themed festival just for Rainbows and Brownies
A weekend of wizarding wonders
Thousands of girls were wowed by mind-blowing magicians, rip-roaring ringmasters, amazing astronomers and fantastic firebreathers at our circus-themed festival, Magic and Mayhem earlier this month. Brownies, Rainbows and their leaders took over Blackland Farm, Foxlease and Waddow Hall for the two day extravaganza.
We're rounded up all the fun of the day below - from the journey there to the closing ceremony.
The fun started before we even arrived
For the 5th North Dulwich Brownies the fun started on the train - we love that this happened!
Thank you to the @SouthernRailUK conductor who gave a shout out to all the Brownie groups on the train going to #MagicAndMayhem 🙌🏼

Serious circus-y fun
Girls were entertained by stilt walkers and magicians - and then it was their turn as they tried out everything from juggling to hula hooping.
We went to outer space
Royal Astronomical members took us on a trip into outer space as girls had a go on telescopes and tried on space suits.
Lots of space things happening up at @WaddowHall too. We’re being helped out by @RoyalAstroSoc members Megan & Joanne & the Preston & District Astronomical Society. #MagicAndMayhem #RAS200 @RAS_Outreach pic.twitter.com/ggzSCpi21B

Anna McNuff joined in the fun
We were really excited to have our new official ambassador Anna McNuff join in the adventure.
Campfire magic
And what would camp be without a campfire? As the sun went down the campfires lit up and we were even treated to a bit of fire breathing (don't try this at home)!
