Potion Making

Here at Grimm & Co we have been concocting potions, lotions, elixirs and herbaceous brews for centuries. All manner of magical beings flock to the doors of the Apothecary every day to pick up their much needed supplies of our most popular potion ingredients; ingredients such as Success Stimulant, A Pinch of Happiness and even Grandma's Scabs.

Some ingredients are better sourced at different times of the year, and the autumn months bring with them fresh ingredients such as waxing blue moon dust, the crisp of morning air and ripe orange pumpkins.

Graham Grimm, our proprietor, is known for being rather grumpy, especially when the nights draw in, so the Shop Elves think that in order to make the best seasonal potions for our magical customers, we need to turn to the wonderful young people of South Yorkshire for help.

Come join the Shop Elves as we prepare the labels, create a list of ingredients (and side effects for humans), and devise a name for your brand new potion. Sift and funnel the ingredients into the glass jar, add a cork stopper and your label, and take home your very own unique bottled potion!

Cost: £11.50 per child participating (plus Eventbrite fees). Includes corked glass bottle filled with up to 250g of bath salt potion and own written kraft label to take home plus a mini colour-changing potion drink (magical lemonade!)

Age: 5 years +

Please book a ticket for every child attending. Please note, adults must stay with their child for the duration of this event.

*Our potions are not edible. Humans (weirdly) use them as bath salts.
