Rainspell Island

Rainspell Island

Rainspell Island is a coastal island where a large number of Rainbow Magic stories have taken place. Rachel and Kirsty met each other here and also made friends with the fairies.

Features[]

Rainspell Island is a beautiful spacious island with lots of scenery and fresh air. There is a Picnic Hill, a campsite, a park and a community garden club. There is a large field in the middle of the island where Star Village was set up. On the island, there is a maze and a ruined castle. The nearest city outside Rainspell Island is Seabury.

The island attracts many different events and festivals, such as sporting competitions and music festivals. There is a tennis club and a swimming pool.

The Harbour consists of the Harbour Cafe and the Sunshine Cake Shoppe. The jetty is where the Pottery Hall is. There is a village square where it is usually quite busy.

There is a long beach around the southern coast of the island. It used to be littered and briefly had no sand, but only rocks. Many rock pools are along the beach. Carys Silver's hut where she works is by the beach.

There are holiday houses along the coast of the island. Two of them are called Mermaid Cottage and Dolphin Cottage. Houses on the island have lots of space and large gardens, such as Sara Sketchley's cottage. The island has a few B&Bs, such as Mimosa Cottage and the Sunny Days B&B. The lighthouse is where the lighthouse keeper, Polly Painterly works and paints.

Stories set on Rainspell Island[]

Rainbow Fairies[]

Rachel and Kirsty were travelling to Rainspell Island for their first holiday. This is where they first met. Kirsty persuaded Rachel to follow the rainbow to see if there really was a pot-of-gold and there was! They also found their first fairy friend, Ruby the Red Fairy.

Green Fairies[]

The girls returned to Rainspell once more only to find the beach was littered. There, they were caught up in another fairy adventure to help save the environment!

Pop Star Fairies[]

As special guests of The Angels, Rachel and Kirsty with Rachel's parents travelled to the Rainspell Music Festival to find pop stars couldn't perform properly because of Jack Frost's mean tricks.

Magical Crafts Fairies[]

In this series, Rachel and Kirsty took part in Crafts Week, doing all sorts of creative things. Kirsty's parents stayed in a local B&B, Mimosa Cottage and Rachel's parents camped out.

Friendship Fairies[]

The girls returned to the island for the summer holidays. They shared a room at the Sunny Days Bed and Breakfast and joined the Summer Friends Club, run by local teenagers Ginny and Jen. The club was where all the problems began concerning the Friendship Fairies' objects.

Trivia[]

South Korean version of the Rainspell Island map

French version of the Rainspell Island map

On the map, whether they feature in the story or not, Mermaid Cottage and Dolphin Cottage are always drawn, apart from the Magical Crafts Fairies map.
Given the origin of the series, Rainspell is probably located off the coast of the United Kingdom. Furthermore, if the Green Fairies' map is to be taken in terms of cardinal directions, it is located off the east coast.
