Brilliant museum in the most gorgeous little village. Well worth a visit. So much packed into what seems to be a small space

Great place to visit. Full of interesting lore, facts and artefacts spanning centuries. No parking on site or toilets but both available in village. Parking has range of card prices depending on your stay. Be aware there are charges of 20p to enter all public toilets, including disabled (no radar key option). The museum is spread over 2 floors, with stairs (no lift). Not wheelchair or pushchair friendly. Entry £8.00 Guidebook £3.00. Range of translation sheets for non-English speaking visitors. Lots of low level lighting. Extremely warm inside the building, particularly so if a hot day. Photos permitted but no flash or videos allowed. Parent advisory Be aware that some exhibits are dessicated corpses of animals, skulls etc., so discretion for younger children necessary.

One of the best experiences of my Life, Such a Magical and Liminal Space, where you can feel the Veil thin. It's quite an Emotional walk through, with a similar Vibes and Energy to Glastonbury. The Museum houses an Eclectic collection of Artifacts and Witchcraft Tools, from Archetypes, Punishments, Herbs, Different forms of Witchcraft, Spells and it's History. Spiritual it is fully immesive, with places to stop and embrace the Energy And History. Also the Young Gentleman at the desk was Helpful, Knowledgeable and Friendly. Outstanding experience. Can't wait to go again. Here's just a few Photos of the Extensive Collection.
