Half-term trail: Witchsnade's school of magic

This October half-term, embark on another magical adventure with our resident witch, Witchsnade!

  • Booking not needed

Last autumn, Witchsnade’s magic was nearly gone, but thanks to the fun and laughter of children like you, her magic was restored and strengthened throughout the year. Now, she’s ready to share her magical powers with you!

Start by making your very own cauldron, and then follow our trail to master skills that take you one step closer to becoming a true witch or wizard! When your training is complete, a magical surprise will appear…

For an alternative option, we also have themed sensory bags and spotter sheets that help you enjoy the trail's magic in a more accessible way.

Don’t forget your witch’s hat!

Drop in 26 October - 3 November between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm. £3 per trail and cauldron craft. No pre-booking necessary.
