- Magic-themed weekend at Ashford Castle
- Two nights bed, breakfast, dinner, for two adults and two children from €1,900
It is time to go back to school, but somehow we don’t think the children will be that disappointed. Ashford Castle is offering their yearly Wizard School this Halloween, a magic-themed weekend for families, from 1,900e (including 2 nights bed and breakfast and two dinners).
For the adults there is tennis, golf, cycling, and billiards, a cinema with jarred sweets and popcorn, and complimentary wifi. Once you’ve been exhausted by all that there is also a solarium, sauna, and relaxation pool. But that’s not what you want to know about, is it?
For the school there is a treasure hunt in the Forbidden Forest, a cookery school to keep the house elves in your family up to scratch, activities like the ‘Chamber of Witchcraft & Wizardry’ and the ‘Chamber of Art’, and Harry Potter movies each evening. And all this in a medieval castle with different parts dating from different periods spanning hundreds of years.
Whether you hail from Hogwarts or the Unseen University, a little intercollegiate collaboration can’t help but be useful. And there’s no doubt the kids wil pay attention at this school.
Jody Halsted of irelandfamilyvacations.com: “For the kids Ashford Castle became Hogwarts as soon as we entered our room. School welcome letters, wands, and Gryffindor robes waited on the bed with the Wizarding School schedule.”
