Study Magical Defense or Bestiology. Magic, magic, magic!
And yes, we have already visualized ourselves there, at Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex, where the Bothwell School of Witchcraft will come to life for three days (August 11-13). What we are really talking about is a role-playing game in which you, along with the other 150 people with whom you will share the weekend, will be the protagonists. "The game will start on Friday night and will last until Sunday afternoon. Players will be assigned characters beforehand that they can customize, make their own, and play as , as if it were a game to solve a murder mystery or to play a role in a movie or video game", they explain to Traveler from the organization.
For this, there will be a story, characters, clothes, utensils, and a set with which to put you in a situation. All this, during a weekend in which there will be an authentic raffle of houses (Which one will you get? Boyeswick, Wisenforth, Tabwen or MacNewthorn?) ; you will attend classes in Alchemy, Bestiology, Magic Defense, Ritual and Runic Magic or Herbology ; you will live an authentic banquet in the great hall of the castle; and you will meet all kinds of 'creatures'. At the moment, they have only been able to confirm that there will be owls, eagles and hawks.
The future home of this short-lived magic school
"Spanish travelers will be able to get in touch with what the typical work of a British boarding school is like. They will learn to participate in a live role-playing game and build great relationships with their fellow students. They will also learn more about the birds that we have already mentioned", they say from the organization, who explain the choice of the enclave as follows: "When we arrived at the castle of Herstmonceux we knew that it was the right place for this event. It's so picturesque with its 300 acres of land and moat. It is also a typical English castle"
The price of the tickets, which will go on sale on March 28 through Kickstarter, will range between 400 and 450 pounds ( between 457 and 513 euros ) and includes accommodation for two nights, full board and the experiences already listed.
