Merlin needs your help! Many years ago, Merlin made a mistake and he needs you to journey back to a mystical, medieval time rich with magic and myth, and help him with a great quest! During your travels you will discover the secrets of ancient magic, take part in a Royal jousting contest and learn the art of sword-fighting from the legendary King Arthur!
This 2-hour immersive, magical story-telling event is perfect for all young adventurers aged 6 to 12. Crafted for wizards, knights and princesses who have a passion for creativity and story-telling.
The activity is not suitable for children under 6. We regret that younger children are unable to spectate due to space restrictions and the content.
All children must be accompanied by an adult with a ticket at all times. Due to the space required for the activities, we can only allow a maximum of 1 adult per child.
Fancy dress is strongly encouraged, however, please ensure everyone wears warm layers underneath their costume and comfortable, warm and flat footwear e.g. trainers or boots, as the house is cold at this time of year and we will spend time in the underground passages, which may be wet..
The session is expected to last approximately 2-hours.
