The Enchanted Castle

October is right around the corner and it’s almost time to bring back The Enchanted Castle!

The Enchanted Castle first opened to the greater Fairfield community in 1991 and was run for 22 years by the Ahlbin Auxiliary of Bridgeport Hospital. In 2019, the Auxiliary handed the event over to The Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County. This will be the 3rd time that the Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County has hosted this fun filled community event.

The Enchanted Castle is a family friendly event where families travel through Fairfield’s Burr Homestead. Six rooms are brought to life by storybook characters who skillfully narrate the tales of Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, and The Wizard of Oz. The Castle is designed for children 2-10 years of age but will be sure to excite the whole family!

At the end of the Castle tour, families are welcome to explore our Castle Cafe & Boo-tique!

Please email us if you have questions, comments or would like to get involved for next year’s event – volunteer@jlefc.org

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
To make the Enchanted Castle possible, we are seeking the talents of kids ages 14+ who can step into cherished character roles. Each actor will be provided with a concise script to memorize and costume. All volunteers are provided with service hours.

Six rooms are brought to life by storybook characters who skillfully narrate the tales of Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, and The Wizard of Oz. The castle will be open for 6 shifts, each comprising 11 speaking character roles and up to 10 non-speaking entertainer positions. We would be immensely grateful if your organization could sponsor one shift, filing as many of these roles as possible, with acting roles taking precedence. If unable to fill all shift roles, filling some is still greatly appreciated!

In return, your group will be prominently featured on our social media channels and marketing materials as the distinguished performance group for your chosen date and time. Volunteers also receive service hours.

Please sign up your group or student by Friday, October 6th, by filling out this link:
