Wirksworth Wizarding Day
Largest fan-organised event for Harry Potter fans in the UK
About
4th October 2026
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
The largest fan-organised event for Harry Potter fans in the UK! Every year witches, wizards and understanding muggles take over the historic Peak District town of Wirksworth.
Adults and children descend on the town dressed as their favourite characters to enjoy themed food, activities, music, quizzes, magic, the character costume contest and to meet other fans. Magic and surprises are around every corner!
As well as a day of fun, the event raises funds for good causes. This year we are raising funds for Wirksworth Colts Football Club, the Fire Fighters Charity and the Wirksworth Pre-School Group.
