Calling all witches and wizards to Chelsea Physic Garden for a hands-on family candle-making workshop, bubbling with magic potential, and inspired by the scents, colours and plants of Autumn.

Begin with a short tour through the Garden, discovering the potent plants and fragrant herbs witches of old have used to heal, help, and hex!

You’ll then head to our Classroom to conjure up your own cauldron candles, using plant-inspired scents, glittering decoration, and a little Halloween magic.

Take two bespoke-brewed candles home to illuminate the long dark nights this spooky season.

Please note: hot materials are involved, so each child must have a grown-up to assist.

• Entry to Chelsea Physic Garden on the day of the workshop
• A seasonal exploration of the Garden
