Hecate : Meeting Yourself at the Crossroads

Every life brings moments of uncertainty, transition and choice. Inspired by the ancient Greek goddess Hecate - guardian of crossroads, keys and thresholds - this workshop invites participants to pause and listen to their own inner wisdom.

Through myth, guided reflection and gentle embodied practices, we'll explore the crossroads we face, the paths we leave behind, and the courage it takes to choose what comes next.

No previous experience is needed. Suitable for anyone curious about myth, storytelling and personal reflection.

This workshop is included in your entrance ticket.

🐍Walking with Lilith: Reclaiming the Wild Within

Walking with Lilith is an immersive storytelling and somatic workshop that invites participants to encounter Lilith not as a demon or a villain, but as a guide. Through myth, embodied practices, reflection, voice and gentle movement, we'll explore the parts of ourselves we've hidden in order to belong — and what becomes possible when we choose to welcome them home.

Additional tickets are required for this workshop and spaces are limited. Investment is £8.
Please note this workshop takes place up a small flight of stairs and due to the historical nature of the building there are no lifts.

Magical Poppet Making Workshop
🪡✨

This Halloween at Leicester Witch Festival, join us for a Magical Poppet Making Workshop, where you’ll be guided through the creation of your very own enchanted poppet. 🌞
Workshop lead by Elisa Mary O’Rouke Gray 🪶

Poppets have a long history within folk magic and witchcraft. Across different traditions, handmade figures have been used as symbolic representations of a person, an intention or a desired outcome. They could be made for healing, protection, love, prosperity, blessing and transformation, with herbs, threads, colours, fabrics and personal symbols chosen to give the work meaning.

Poppets can be beautiful tools of sympathetic magic, a tangible way of focusing our thoughts, hopes and intentions into something we have created ourselves.

There is something wonderfully old-fashioned about sitting with fabric, thread, herbs and your own imagination, slowly stitching together something that carries a little piece of your magic.

🖤All materials provided
🖤 No previous experience needed
🖤 Guidance and instruction throughout
🖤 Take your magical poppet home with you

Come and stitch a little magic into being. 🪡🌙

Who knows what intention you might sew into yours?

🌛Tickets for this workshop are on sale now. Suitable for over 16s (must be accompanied by an adult). Entrance tickets to event also required.
Link in bio.
Limited spaces, please book early.

🌛Everything is provided but if you wish to bring something personal to add to your poppet you are very welcome to.
