Harry Potter Party

Put on your wizard cap and get ready for a magical event with potions, spells, and more!

The wizarding fun of Hogwarts returns to Wenham Museum this fall. This celebration of magic and wonder includes an alchemy magic show with a genuine wizard, a potions lab, crafting, photo ops, a limited time display of LEGO™ Hogwarts Express buildings, and more! 

Because of the anticipated large size of the Potter Party, the museum will be open for this special event only. Advanced reservations are highly recommended. Tickets for the Potter Party will be available at the door on the day of the event as space permits. Discounted admission and passes will not be accepted for this event or on this date including library passes and ACM Reciprocal members. 

In honor of Dobby the house elf, please bring a new pair of socks to be donated to River House Women’s Shelter in Beverly.

If you are intending to visit only to see the trains or other exhibitions, special Potter Party Admission Prices will apply for Members and Nonmembers at the door.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Online Reservations are No Longer Available. A limited number of tickets will be available for sale at the door on Saturday for the Harry Potter Party including crafts, photo booth, and afternoon classes: Members – $8 per person and Nonmembers – $12 per person. Everyone ages 2 and up needs a ticket. PLEASE NOTE: Our Ed the Wizard Magic Show for our Harry Potter Party is SOLD OUT.
