Outdoor fairy party locations – Fairy trails and gardens
‘Fairy Trees’, QUT Gardens Point
Believe it or not, Brisbane is home to a number of gorgeous fairy gardens and fairy trails! These atmospheric locations are sure to provide a touch of whimsy to your next fairy party.
Fairy Trees – QUT Gardens Point, Brisbane CBD
Aptly named the ‘Fairy Trees’ because of their canopy of twinkling fairy lights, this simply enchanting spot found alongside QUT near the Goodwill Bridge is a perfect place to set up your fairy party. Plan for an afternoon picnic party for smaller fairies to enjoy and, as the sun sets low, watch as they become spellbound by the thousands of tiny lights that twinkle down above them. Nature play at its best, the kids will enter their own magical fairy land as they weave in and out of the giant Fig tree roots.
Address: Within the grounds of QUT Gardens Point, near the Goodwill Bridge.
Cornubia Forest Park Fairy Trail, Cornubia
Cornubia Forest Park will provide a nature-infused party location with a bit of magic thrown in. A 1.4km flat, concrete path winds its way over several bridges and beneath a canopy of Melaleuca trees before leading to a few secret fairy-laden finds. Colourful rocks lead to a decorated private fence with a fairy door and ornamental creatures. Further along, an old tree stump is adorned with a small doorway and opening. Party guests will love discovering this hidden fairy realm as they meander unknowingly along the path. The only downside? There are no toilets at this park!
Address: Parkview Crescent, Cornubia

The Gollum Tree, Scarborough Beach
Legend has it that The Lord of the Rings’ Gollum resides right next to the ocean at Scarborough Beach! Ever since this magical fairy door appeared in one of the central trees adjacent to the beach here, mystery has filled the space and brought with it lots of curious visitors. The beachside location is the perfect place for a fairy party under the trees, challenging your guests to weave their own stories of the magic that lives behind this special little door.
Address: Landsborough Parade, Scarborough

Address: 22 Station Street, Samford Village
Host a fairy party at home!

- Tiny fairy figurines hidden around the garden – have your guests see how many they can find throughout the day
- Fairy party entertainment to come to your house and host the event
- Decorate their own fairy house activity for your guests to take home and place in their garden
