Pre-book online or purchase on the day. Haddon Hall, Bakewell DE45 1LA This October half-term, Haddon Hall invites young witches and wizards-in-training to step into a magical world of learning and enchantment at its Little School of Sorcery. Taking place daily between October 22nd and 31st and set within the historic grounds of one of England’s most romantic houses, this year’s event transports families to a bewitching world of spells and potions, with activities designed to ignite young imaginations and spark creativity. An Enchanted Setting The magic begins as you cross the bridge and approach Haddon’s Tudor Stable Block, now transformed into the headquarters of the Little School of Sorcery. Outside, visitors will find hay bales, pumpkins, and autumnal displays, where children can take part in broomstick-making workshops and seasonal crafts. Look out for the broom rack - because even magical transportation needs good parking! Inside the Stable Studio, young guests can enter the “classroom” for a series of themed activities led by guides dressed as friendly witches and wizards. Children will try their hand at spell writing, create charming Halloween crafts, and enjoy a programme of drop-in workshops throughout the day. Magic Within the Hall While the Little School of Sorcery is based in the Stable Block, the Hall itself will also play a part in the magic. As part of general admission, families can explore MAGIC: Charms, rituals and superstition in Elizabethan England - a family-friendly exhibition that reveals how belief in the supernatural shaped everyday life in the 16th century. With immersive displays, real artefacts and curious folklore, it’s both educational and entertaining for all ages, with Little School of Sorcery guests able given a special magical map to help them spot the curious and unusual secrets of Haddon Hall. Watch out for the beautiful Haddon owls who will be in the Banqueting Hall on selected dates, plus other magical surprises... READ MORE>
