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. 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.

Any registered carers attending, please add your adult ticket to the basket, then enter the coupon code “CARER2023” for a £13.95 deduction on your booking, equaling a free adult ticket. 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.

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