We’re going on an adventure!
Join us at Mother Shipton’s Cave from Saturday 19th July to Sunday 31st August 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 York-shire!
Keep a look out for an enchanting fairy and the curiously courageous Hobbling, who guard the secrets of the forest and may even share their enchantments with worthy adventurers.
Join us dressed up as a fairy, hobbit, elf, or wizard and set off on an adventure through the ancient 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 our vintage-style kiosks with cool drinks, ice creams, and fairy-approved treats. Little ones can burn off energy in our Adventure Playground (weather permitting), and our magical Gift Shop is filled with treasures to take a piece of the magic home.
All this alongside our unforgettable historic attractions:
• Mother Shipton’s Cave
• The Petrifying Well
• The Wishing Well
• A scenic mile-long walk along the River Nidd
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)
