Join us on 19th – 20th October for a spell-binding weekend of wizardry. The nineteenth century stone walls, ancient trees, and winding hallways of our historic hotel have always held great mysteries. Soak up the magic of it all, as we sweep you away into a world of wizards and wands, at one of the most bewitching immersive events in Cornwall.
Magic in the Cornish capital
You are cordially invited to The Wizardry Ball on Saturday 19th October. The most highly anticipated event in the wizarding calendar, make your way for a four-course feast, whipped up by our professor of Cornish cuisine and kitchen sorcery – Ollie Wyatt.
Throughout the evening, expect the unexpected – with entrancing performances from our magician, visits from feathery owl friends, enchanted cocktails, and music until late from our resident DJ.
