Abby, who is due to start secondary school this September, is finding fewer friends willing to engage in Sylvanian play. “Most have grown out of them and I think it’s really sad,” she says. “When I told one friend about this picnic, I thought she’d be excited but she just said, ‘I haven’t been collecting Sylvanians for ages.’ She probably wanted to come but she’s worried it wouldn’t seem cool. Sylvanians are like the last little bit of childhood I have left.”Samantha Loveday. "Epoch confirms UK distribution of Sylvanian Families" . Retrieved July 10, 2013.

Yet, Epoch says Sylvania could be anytime, anywhere – the word sylvan, from which it’s derived, means “of the forest or woods”. It’s not surprising, then, that Orla saw last Sunday’s Sylvanian 30th birthday picnic in Hatchlands Park, Surrey, as a golden opportunity.

Returning a book to the shelf, you might be met by a small bear who has moved into the space and set up a shoe shop.
