🧚 Craft a Magical Fairy Door
Have you ever wondered how fairies enter our realm?
They pass through magical doors, created with love and a little pixie dust.
As witches specialising in magical creatures and other realms, we’ll help you create your very own Magical Fairy Door. Through it, you can whisper your most secret wishes directly to the fairies.
⚠️ Please note: For this workshop, a 9.00am entry ticket to the event is required.

🍄 Design a Fairy Glen Diorama
Scottish fairies are some of the most misunderstood magical creatures. At the Ministry for Magical Mushrooms & Fairy Glens, we’re studying their behaviour—and we need your help.
Create your own Fairy Glen Diorama and report your findings back to us. What mischief do fairies get up to when no one is watching? Your discoveries will help us compile a reference book for the Ministry’s library here in Scotland.

🌈 Paint an Enchanted Mushroom Forest
When the rain stops and a rainbow appears, our painted mushrooms come alive.
These magical shelters are home to many tiny mythical creatures, infused with rainbow-born enchantment. Now it’s your turn—paint your own enchanted mushrooms and discover which magical beings take refuge during the storm

👻 Make a Spooky Globe
Where there is light, there is always darkness.
At the Ministry for Magic, we honour both sides. This workshop offers a rare chance to create your own spooky miniature world inside a magical globe. Choose from a variety of eerie mini items and bring your Spooktacular creation to life

👜 Create Your Own Tote Bag for Mum
What better way to show Mum how much you love her than with something handmade and personal?
Design your own tote bag however you like—bold, colourful, magical, or heartfelt—and let your imagination run wild .
