Wild Magic at Mere Sands Wood

Calling all witches and wizards, goblins and ghouls. 

This Halloween, visit a woodland school of magic, nestled in the mystical Mere Sands Wood.  Using natural materials, you can design an enchanted cloak, build your very own broomstick from scratch, create magical wild potions and make a wand to conjure your spells. 

Fancy dress is welcome, but this is an outdoor activity so please arrive dressed for the weather, including waterproofs and sturdy footwear.
