Step into a world of magic and mystery at The Little Academy of Witches & Wizards at The Mac’s Farm, where young apprentices will discover whether they have what it takes to become a fully qualified witch or wizard!
Under the watchful eye of our wonderfully eccentric magical professors, apprentices will embark on an enchanting journey through three spellbinding lessons, each filled with magic, mischief and plenty of surprises!
Herbology Class – Discover the mysterious world of magical plants and uncover the secrets hidden within nature. Plant your very own plant companion to take home with you.
Mysterious Potions – Mix, stir and experiment as you learn the curious art of potion making.
But beware… magic is not always as simple as it seems!
