Hocus Pocus Halloween at Mother Shipton's - Mother Shipton's Cave

Get ready to be spellbound this Halloween at Mother Shipton's in Knaresborough, Yorkshire.

From 24th October to 1st November, join us for a bewitching adventure inspired by Hocus Pocus.

Step into a land of enchantment as you explore themed displays filled with witches and magical mischief. Keep your eyes peeled for our iconic witchy sister trio, who are conjuring chaos throughout the woodland. Meet them, join their coven, and don't forget to snap a magical photo together!

Take part in our SPOOKTACULAR activities, soak up the Halloween atmosphere and share your favourite moments using #mothershiptons for the chance to win tickets to visit us again.

Venture deeper into the heart of the ancient site as you step inside the cave, the legendary birthplace of Mother Shipton, England's most famous prophetess. Then marvel at the world-famous Petrifying Well, where everyday objects appear to turn to stone before your eyes - a natural phenomenon that has inspired tales of magic, witches and the supernatural for centuries.

Even witches need a treat! Stop by for our wickedly delicious black vanilla ice cream, cosy up with a pumpkin spice latte, or gather around the fire to Toast a Ghost with marshmallow toasting.

Channel your inner sorcerer with a wish at our mystical Wishing Well, discover our fascinating cabinets of petrified curiosities, and browse our quirky gift shop, packed with enchanting oddities, magical keepsakes and Halloween treasures.

With plenty of covered picnic benches overlooking the beautiful autumn colours and a picturesque mile-long walk beside the River Nidd, there's something for the whole family, including your four-legged friends.

So gather your favourite witches, dust off your broomsticks, and prepare for a Halloween adventure at Mother Shipton’s. But be quick... this spell won't last forever. Booking is essential.
