Wizard Week at IW Steam Railway
It’s wickedly, wonderful fun this half term as witches, wizards and other ghouls take over Havenstreet!
What's On
Head to Havenstreet this half-term and join the IW Steam Railway team for some spooky surprises and a mesmerising ride through time!
It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little magic and you'll find a real life magician conjuring up a few tricks. Meet the friendly witches of Havenstreet, you may be able to be a spooky apprentice and help with some magic spells.
Greg Chapman will also be in the station yard telling terrible tales and mesmerising you with amazing illusions.
Enter the Barn Cafe for free magic shows from friendly wizard, Professor Crump.
Take the terrifying treasure hunt trail and explore the grounds before boarding the steam train where a crafty witch will be dealing out treats (maybe a few tricks) then settle back for a journey through ‘haunted’ woodland.
