We’re going on an adventure! This summer (Saturday 19th July to Sunday 31st August 2025), head to Mother Shipton’s Cave, where magic dwells deep, with hobbit-esque themed displays and plenty of fairy magic. It’s an adventure to rule them all, happening in the heart of Yorkshire! Keep an eye out for an enchanting fairy and curiously courageous Hobbling who guard the secrets of the forest and may even share their enchantments with worthy adventurers.
Why not dress up as a fairy, hobbit, elf or wizard and set off on an adventure through the ancient woodland site? Seek out magical photo spots and share your fantasy snaps with #mothershiptons for a chance to win free tickets to come back again!
After your quest, relax and refuel at the vintage-style kiosks where you’ll find cold drinks, ice creams and fairy-approved treats. Little ones can burn off energy in the adventure playground (weather permitting), and don’t miss the magical gift shop that’s filled with magical treasures to take home.
Alongside this immersive summer experience, visitors can enjoy the site’s historic highlights:
– A picturesque mile-long walk along the River Nidd
– Mother Shipton’s Cave
– The Petrifying Well
– The Wishing Well
This immersive event is perfect for families, fantasy fans and magical beings of all ages (even dogs are welcome on leads, except in the playground and shop).
– Event Dates: Saturday 19th July – Sunday 31st August
– Opening Hours: 9.30am – 5.30pm (last admission 4pm)
