The Alnwick Garden’s School of Poison

Calling all witches and wizards! This summer, The Alnwick Garden is being transformed into The School of Poison, where children can explore the world of powerful plants and deadly concoctions.

Free for up to four under 16s who visit The Garden with a paying adult, The School of Poison will see visitors embark on a host of games and activities every day, from 20th July to 2nd September.

Greeted on arrival by Miss Behave and Mr Blister, each class will start with a day of fun-filled adventures around the venue’s various features, with informative activities inspired by Geography, English, Science and many more.

From crafting clay pets and poisonous plants to cracking codes in the Ornamental Garden, our wacky professors have plenty of activities to ignite your children’s curiosity and enhance their love of the outdoors.
