About A Summer in Oz

This summer, our enchanted forest is sprinkled with the spirit of Oz. Meet the radiant Good Witch of the Glade and our ever-cheerful Scarecrow as they sprinkle a little midsummer mischief and merriment throughout the forest.

Perfect for little dreamers and grown-up adventurers alike, there will be spellbinding photo opportunities, themed displays inspired by iconic scenes, and plenty of chances to follow the path wherever it may lead.

Click your heels and come dressed in your most marvellous Oz-inspired attire, and share your magical moments using #mothershiptons for a chance to win free tickets.

Beyond the summer spectacle, explore England’s Oldest Tourist Attraction, home to the legendary Mother Shipton’s Cave, the Petrifying Well, adventure playground, gift shop and scenic riverside walk.

There’s no place like Mother Shipton’s this summer.

Event Dates: 18th July – 6th September
Opening Hours: 9.30am – 5.30pm (last admission 4pm)
