New Fairy World Record
June 6th, 2012
Festival-goers in Cambridge have set a new Guinness World Record for the number of people in the same place dressed as fairies.
Organisers of Strawberry Fair, an annual free event, said 337 people dressed as fairies beating the record of 67, set in Australia in 2010.
Drew Park from the fair committee, said it was “a glimpse of the quirkiness and humour that make Cambridge unique”.
To be an official fairy, participants had to wear wings, tutus and have wands at the ready. A Fairy Queen and King, and Prince and Princess were crowned during the gathering.

They can claim as much as they want — unfortunately 337 is a tiny number compared to the truth — we have thousands at FaerieWorlds every summer in Eugene, Oregon. If you want to see the world’s most amazing international gathering of fae folk, come on out this July — our 11th year!
This is of course meant with love and laughter — the proliferation of the fae realms around the world is a joy to my heart, and we happily greet our east coast fae cousins :)
