✨ A Magical Celebration of Yule 🕯️
Hosted by Emma the Cunning Woman and Emma Theobald, the Suffolk Witchcraft Market XL Yule Edition invites all magical folk to honour the turning of the Wheel of the Year. As frost laces the landscape, join a thriving community of spiritual seekers, mystics, and artisans in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. This expanded edition brings greater space, more magic, and deeper connection to explore. ❄️💜
🔮 Enchanted Market and Mystic Experiences ✨
Over 35 stalls will fill the Blackbourne Community Centre with wonder, offering spell kits, handcrafted jewellery, crystals, witchy artwork, herbs, books, oracle decks, and spiritual tools. Discover gifts for yourself and loved ones while soaking in the festive midwinter spirit.
Enjoy readings from experienced Tarot and divination practitioners, and take part in insightful workshops and talks that dive deep into Pagan wisdom and Yule traditions. Onsite refreshments keep you warm and nourished throughout the day.
🌠 Weekend Itinerary for Travellers Attending the Suffolk Witchcraft Market
🌄 Saturday – Arrival, Grounding, and Gathering Energy
Arrive in the magical county of Suffolk and check into a warm and welcoming retreat. We recommend Ravenwood Hall Hotel for an atmospheric stay in a historical manor or The Heritage Grange Hotel in Thurston for a cosy, budget-friendly option just minutes from Elmswell.
Spend the afternoon exploring the ancient energy of Bury St Edmunds, visiting sacred sites like Abbey Gardens and St Edmundsbury Cathedral, or source locally made goods in the independent shops along Abbeygate Street.
As twilight falls, enjoy a hearty, soul-nourishing dinner at No.4 Restaurant & Bar, or savour rustic plates and wine at The Olive Grove. If you’re called to a little more enchantment, sip something warming by candlelight at The Angel Hotel, rich in literary and spiritual history.
🔮 Sunday – The Market of Midwinter Magic
Begin your day with breakfast at Wright’s Café, beloved for ethical, organic fare. Then journey to The Blackbourne Community Centre for the Suffolk Witchcraft Market XL Yule Edition — doors open at 10:30 AM.
Step into a hall alive with spellbinding energy, as over 35 artisan traders, seers, readers, and healers fill the space with colour and power. Shop for Yule gifts, connect with local Pagan and mystical communities, attend workshops on the wisdom of winter, and receive spiritual insight through Tarot, oracle, and other divinatory arts.
Let your heart expand with the warmth of sacred kinship and the joy of seasonal celebration. Grab a warming drink and sweet treat from the café before heading into the afternoon.
🌲 Sunday Late Afternoon – Sacred Farewell
After the market closes at 4:00 PM, take time for personal reflection. A visit to Bradfield Woods, one of Suffolk’s oldest natural woodlands, offers a perfect space to walk beneath the canopy, honour the turning of the Wheel, and whisper your Yule blessings to the trees.
For travellers staying an additional night, consider a Sunday supper at Maison Bleue, a refined yet relaxed dining experience to close the weekend with grace.
