Magical Manor

Magical Manor
From 11 July 2026 at 10:00 AM
To 11 July 2026 at 4:00 PM

Join us at our Magical Manor, for a day like no other! 

Brave young explorers can climb the Dragon’s Tower in search of hidden treasure, visit the mischievous pirates cove, and follow Hansel and Gretel’s mysterious trail through a world of storybook surprises.

Then the true magic begins when the children are invited to train as young magic keepers, learning the ancient skills of spells, wonder, and unicorn lore before an unforgettable moment... meeting a real-life unicorn. With shimmering coats, sparkling horns, and a little touch of magic, these majestic creatures will bring dreams to life.

Following a short, fun, training course at the Unicorn Academy, children and their grown ups will be able to get up close and meet a Unicorn. There will then be a chance to spend time with the Unicorns, give them a brush, and grab a photo with them. Please expect around 10 minutes with a unicorn in groups of 3 children at a time. 

(Please note, children can only meet and greet the unicorns. Rides are not permitted).

null   

Pirates, princesses, dragons and more,
Magical adventures behind every door.

Meet witches and knights, and woodland friends too,
Crafts and games are waiting for you.

Practice Unicorn greetings with sparkle and grace, 
Before meeting a Unicorn face to face. 

Bring your little dreamers for a day they'll adore,
Capture memories you'll cherish forever more.

Your Unicorn Experience

Your timed ticket is for a specific Unicorn meet and greet experience.

At your designated timeslot, you'll attend Unicorn Academy, where you'll learn how to spot unicorn clues, practise your magical manners, and prepare to meet one of our enchanting unicorns. You will find this in our Medieval Hall (the smaller of the two buildings, please look out for signage on the day). 

Please allow around 20 minutes for your Unicorn Academy and meet-and-greet experience.

There is plenty more to explore at Magical Manor before or after your session, so we recommend allowing 60–90 minutes for your full visit. Note, event gates will open at 10am and the event will be closed at 4pm.
