Gather in a beautiful venue for magic, community, ritual, learning, ceremonies and witchy market.

A gathering is stirring in the heart of this historic city—within a beautiful, renowned, and reputedly haunted venue.

Join us for a day of learning, wisdom-sharing, connection, conjuring, and discovery.

We return this year to the Guildhall, Leicester, in the heart of historic and spiritual Leicester. We bring more magic, more spectacular traders, readers, and therapists, and witches sharing their wisdom through magical rituals and ceremonies.

Step Into the Magic: The Witch Festival at Guildhall, Leicester

Join us for a truly enchanting Saturday, set within one of Leicester’s oldest and most beautiful historic buildings. This is not just an event—it’s a portal into a world where magic, mystery, and community come together in celebration of the witch’s path.

Wander through the courtyard and atmospheric rooms of the Guildhall, and visit the cells where accused witches were once held. We will host workshops in the haunted library. Explore a curated marketplace filled with handcrafted witchy wares, ritual tools, spell ingredients, art, books, and more from local and national makers.

Throughout the day, be inspired by renowned guest speakers, take part in immersive workshops on craft, ritual, folklore, and magic, and connect deeply during our communal rituals held on sacred ground steeped in centuries of story.

Whether you walk the witch’s path, are curious about the craft, or simply wish to experience something otherworldly, this is a festival where all are welcome.

Please note:

The entrance ticket provides access to a full day of workshops. A second programme of workshops will also be available, which will require additional tickets. Programmes will be published at a later date, along with individual workshop pricing.

Unfortunately, due to the building’s historic nature and preservation restrictions, there is no lift access to the paid workshops taking place upstairs.

Book your tickets now and step beyond the veil.

Magic is waiting…

Our events frequently sell out well before the date of the Witch Festival, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
