Little School of Sorcery at Haddon Hall

Young witches and wizards can cook up potions in the Medieval Kitchens, conjure spells, discover magical artefacts, and take part in spooky craft activities. Children receive a special magical map to search out curious secrets hidden throughout the hall and can make a mini broomstick to take home. On select dates, families can also encounter real owls in the Banqueting Hall.
