What if your child could spend a day chasing clues through nature, discovering magical storybooks, and writing their own tales — all in a setting straight out of a classic Enid Blyton novel?
This summer, Kalpavriksha Farms becomes the perfect backdrop for adventure and imagination. Through a thoughtfully crafted series of Saturday workshops, we invite children to read, play, explore, and write — just like the characters from the Famous Five or the Faraway Tree.
Each session is designed to be a screen-free celebration of storytelling, nature, curiosity, and old-school fun. Whether your child is a budding writer, a nature lover, or simply curious — this experience promises lasting memories and creative joy.
✨ Come for the clues. Stay for the stories. Leave with a pocket full of inspiration (and maybe a goody bag too).
Let the adventure begin! Kids race to solve clues scattered around the farm — the lucky winners get to make a wish at our secret “Wishing Bench.”
Gather around for a short and sweet Enid Blyton read-aloud session — complete with accents, expressions, and excitement.
A chance to explore our handpicked Enid Blyton collection. Let the covers spark curiosity and the pages open new worlds.
Wander through the greenery, listen to stories of trees and bugs, and let nature feed the imagination.
Armed with prompts, tips, and goody bags, children return to our cozy cottage space to write their own mini-tales or poems — just like little authors in the making.
Time to spread the mats, open the snack boxes, and enjoy a good old-fashioned picnic, Blyton-style.
Kids share their stories, listen to others, and reflect on the experience. Everyone leaves with a smile and a sense of wonder.
