About

Something wicked this way comes this Halloween half term… all aspiring little sorcerers are invited to Witches and Wizards at Pontefract Castle!


Take part in witchy outdoor activities, learn to mix magical potions and magic up fun themed crafts.


Join the resident witches on the bandstand for potions demonstrations! Sessions at 11:15am, 12:15pm and 1:30pm.


It’ll be spooktacular!


Pontefract Castle are also running SEND sessions each day, 10am – 10:45am, which can be booked online.
