Creaky Cauldron

Where magic begins......

By Day: The Wizarding World of Dr Thaddeus Bombay - where every hour is the witching hour but you don't need to be a card-carrying witch to join in the fun.

Enchanting and magical museum in one of Stratford's oldest buildings. Three floors of magical room settings and spooky exhibits including:
The Wizard of Oz and Yellow Brick Road
Mary Poppins and the Haunted Nursery
The Potions Classroom at Magic School
The Legend of the Witch of Henley Street
Dr Bombay's Parlour and Study
The Haunted Portrait Gallery
The Magic SpellBox Company

So, if the hum-drum of life has been getting you down, maybe it's time to weave a little magic into your day. Suitable for any age.

And By Night: The Stratford Ripper Experience

A series of terrifying events took place in the late 1700's in and around the infamous White Lion Inn. Join us in the only remaining part of the Inn and let us introduce you to the chilling world of the Stratford Ripper. You will need to keep your wits about you as you start to question your senses (and even your sanity) as the building's dreadful secrets begin to unfold before your eyes.....

Combining the heady and disorientating atmosphere of a scare attraction with the disorientating layout of a genuinely haunted building that is over 450 years old - the Stratford Ripper Experience is certainly not for the faint hearted!
