Join our resident wizarding professors and take part in one of our famous Broomstick Training sessions, on the very spot where Harry had his first flying lesson in the film production of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
With our eccentric professor’s expert guidance, you shall be taught the basics of mastering a broomstick. Practice your mount and dismount before learning to curve and manoeuvre across the lawns of Alnwick Castle, more affectionately known as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, at great speeds!
When do lessons take place?
Lessons occur at intervals throughout the day weather permitting. Please check the 'What's On' board on arrival for specific timings on the day of your visit. Lessons last approximately 25 minutes.
Whilst we believe you're never too old to learn to fly, Broomstick Training tickets are prioritised for visitors aged 6 to 16 years. If you are above this age group and would like to take part, please speak to the staff member distributing the tickets and they will be able to advise whether you can be accommodated. Don’t forget to bring your camera and capture evidence of you and your levitating broomstick to amaze your family and friends back home!
Alnwick Castle reserves the right to alter any part of its programme. Please call in advance for more information on your visit, or check our ‘What’s on’ board on arrival to check timings on the day.
