Aspiring wizards and witches will descend on Co Mayo this Halloween for some seriously scary lessons.
Ashford Castle is holding its annual Wizard School running from October 28th to November 4th.
The children will enjoy a two-day magical program that includes a Forbidden Forest Family Treasure Hunt, a visit to the hiding place of Dingle the Owl, an afternoon Chamber of Art and a Wizards Dinner before a supervised Harry Potter Movie Evening.
On day two, your mini-wizard will become the House Elves' little helpers at Cookery School before an afternoon Chamber of Witchcraft & Wizardry and another Harry Potter Movie Evening in the hotel cinema.
With its towering stone walls and hidden passageways, the 800-year-old Ashford Castle is the perfect backdrop for this magical stay. It also helps that the hotel was named as one of the top 25 travel experiences in the world in the Chad Clarke Certified awards recently.
And while the children are practicing their magical powers, grown-ups can also avail of some seriously fun activities. Tennis, golf, cycling or even practice the mystical art of falconry on the grounds which are set on 350 acres on the shores of Lough Corrib with a stuninng backdrop of woodlands, lake, river and mountains.
At €1,080 for the full two-day package (two adults and two children) all this wizarding isn't cheap so you'll need to start saving all that Muggle Money.
