Get ready for a spellbinding adventure as The Magic Faraway Tree makes its UK debut on March 27th, 2026. Adapted from Enid Blyton’s iconic children’s books, this live-action fantasy comedy promises to transport audiences of all ages to a whimsical world where magic, mystery, and family fun collide. With an enchanting trailer just released by Entertainment Film Distributor, the buzz is already building for what could be the ultimate family cinematic experience this spring.
The story follows Polly (Claire Foy) and Tim (Andrew Garfield) alongside their children, who are uprooted to the serene English countryside. On the doorstep of their new home, the family discovers the Enchanted Wood and, most importantly, the legendary Faraway Tree. Each climb up the tree unlocks a new fantastical land, filled with eccentric characters, unexpected adventures, and life lessons that reconnect the family in ways they never imagined.
Fans of the books will delight in the colorful and quirky residents of the tree. Moonface (Nonso Anozie) adds humor and heart, while Silky (Nicola Coughlan), Dame Washalot (Jessica Gunning), and Saucepan Man (Dustin Demri-Burns) bring charm and chaos to the magical mix. The filmmakers have masterfully balanced nostalgia for longtime fans with fresh, cinematic spectacle that keeps modern audiences engaged and entertained.
Directed by Ben Gregor, known for hits like All Stars and Fatherhood, the film captures the essence of Blyton’s world with stunning visuals, whimsical design, and a heartfelt narrative. Screenwriter Simon Farnaby, who adapts the story from Blyton’s classic series, ensures that the humor, wonder, and life lessons of the original books shine through, making the film more than just a magical adventure — it’s also a story about family, resilience, and rediscovery.
Produced by Nicolas Brown, Pippa Harris, Jane Hooks, and Danny Perkins, The Magic Faraway Tree is positioned as the perfect family outing, slated for March 27th release.
