Wirksworth Wizarding Day

Wirksworth Wizarding Day returns on Sunday 4th October, transforming the town into a magical world of wizards, witches and fantastic creatures – and the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway will be joining in the fun.

Wirksworth Wizarding Day is a fantastic day out for the whole family, with the streets of Wirksworth filled with magical characters, entertainment, activities and attractions throughout the town.

Dress as your favourite witch, wizard or magical character and join thousands of visitors for a day when Wirksworth becomes a world of spells, surprises and imagination.

The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway provides the perfect way to travel to the event, bringing you directly into Wirksworth and avoiding the need to find parking in and around the busy town centre.
