Witch Festival

About this event

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. 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.
