Until Sunday 1 November 2026, Château de Bridoire near Bergerac becomes a magical School of Wizards — a memorable autumn activity for families exploring the Dordogne.

Two adventures for different ages

Children aged seven and older can follow a themed adventure through the château, tackling puzzles and challenges as they try to join one of its four houses. Younger visitors have a separate treasure-hunt-style mission to help a witch recover the ingredients for her potion.

Dates, times and booking

The event runs 17 October–1 November 2026, generally 10.30am–6pm, at Château de Bridoire, Ribagnac. Advance online booking is required. Check availability and prices directly with the château before you set out.

Staying at Le Petit Capelier near Issigeac? This is one of the Dordogne’s more imaginative half-term outings. Event details: Château de Bridoire’s official Halloween page.
