CHILDREN were enthralled by fairy detectives as they followed a wintery trail.

Children from Young Friends nursery were invited on a meandering journey exploring wintery themes at the Book Nook in Hove.

The Fairy Detective Agency sent their young trainees on their first assignment - to find out about A Winter's Trail - the Theatre Royal's Christmas children's production.

The interactive play runs from December 4 to 24 will explore the excitement of the first snowflakes and warm glow of keeping cosy inside.
