🧙‍♀️ Jordans School of Magic 3D Halloween Trail 2025 - Jordans Mill


Time: 09:30 - 15:30

🔮 Our magical school timetable at Jordans Mill in Broom has been scrambled up by playful witches and cheeky woodland ghosts! They've mixed up all the lessons, and now we need your help to put things right.

🗓 2025 DATES & TIMES
▪️
25th October - 2nd November
▪️9:30am - 3:30pm

 🌳 WHAT TO EXPECT
As you journey through the meadow and woodland, look out for each lesson along the trail. Can you spot the lesson and work out which class it belongs to?
 
At every location, write down the spooky lesson on your trail sheet and match to the correct class to help restore order to our school of magic. As you follow the trail, use your 3D classes to reveal a secret hidden letter. The letters will spell out a magic word. Return to the Mill shop and speak the magic word to stop the mischievous witches and ghosts mixing up the lessons again.

The cafe serves food from 9am - 3pm everyday in half term. Scroll down on the link of the website page below to download the menu.

🚫 PICNICS

♿️ IS THE ZOO ACCESSIABLE?
(Whatsup Bedfordshire advice)

The parking is on gravel stones so this maybe hard to navigate a wheelchair. Although it does mention on the website that you can park infront of the Farm Shop which is tarmac ideal for wheelchair users. The farm shop, Steak House & Tea room are accessible. On a winter day you may find the zoo area paths are muddy, with some gravel paths and grass, so it maybe hard to push a wheelchair in places. There is a wooden slat ramp to the Tropical house.
🚻 Accessible toilets - Accessible toilets are available in both the Steakhouse and Tea room.

🎟 NO BOOKING REQUIRED, JUST PAY ON THE GATE BY CASH OR CARD!
