The event is held inside Hedingham Castle, Halstead CO9 3DJ.

Parking is all FREE. There is a short walk from your car to the castle.

No, children must have a fully paying parent or guardian supervising them at all times. You can get involved with the children or watch from the within the room during each activity.

As we require parents / guardians to be with their children at all times they also have to purchase a ticket. The castle charges standard admission for adults when they are open and in a similar way to attending a theme park with children you still have to buy a ticket. (You may also learn a spell or two!)

Tea, coffee and light snacks will be available to purchase on the second floor.

The Castle cannot accommodate buggies or pushchairs so you will be asked to leave these in our buggy park at your own risk.

Unfortunately there is no disabled access, as the castle is a historic monument. There are no lifts or stair lifts inside the castle.

Standard charges apply to visitors with accessible/special needs, carers are eligible for a reduced-price ticket. Please use “CARER2024” for a discount on the carer ticket for the event. Please add the carer ticket in addition to any other tickets. Only 1 carer ticket can be added per booking. Proof of disability will be requested on arrival, which can be a statement of special educational needs from LEA or NHS, a letter from a medical professional on NHS headed paper, a DLA or PIP letter from the Department of Work & Pensions, Attendance Allowance, Incapacity Benefit or National DID Card. We do not accept carer cards. If you arrive without this information unfortunately payment in full will be requested on arrival.

Please add your adult ticket to the basket, along with any child tickets you require. Only one carer ticket can be added per booking. Please be aware there is NO disability access ie lifts inside the castle, and the stairways are extremely narrow as it is an original unchanged historic building.

Personalised letters are posted out in batches each week, if it has been over 2 weeks since you have ordered please get in touch.

Dragon Trainers is a shorter, lower priced event for February 2025. It does not feature the magical animals.

Due to the amount of people moving tickets, there is now a £10 admin fee to move tickets.
