A good variety of miscellaneous witch and occult type stuff but no sort of timeline or particular links for any of the exhibits. Still spent a good hour looking round and reading.

We stumbled upon this by chance and really enjoyed our visit but my partner felt that there was a lack of information. A guide book with more information would have been good. The amount of warnings about alarms is very off putting.

I admit I am of this nature but it is also of great interest to most people in that it will enlighten people as to what it is all about & nothing to so with ladies with pointed hats,warts on their noses & casting spells to turn you into frogs.

I actually went some time ago in May 2012 and promised to write a review. I'm not into witchcraft or anything of that nature and therefore I just decided to give the museum a little visit as part of my trip to Boscastle. I can imagine for those into witchcraft that this place is full of fascinating memorabilia. I learned... More

A most interesting collection of the unusual. If you have an interest, or just curious, this is a must. Located in Boscastle Cornwell this museum houses what is probably the most items of the kind anywhere.A couple of hours can fly by just reading the infomation linked to the display. Thank you Graham King who gave us further infomation when... More

What a great museum. A completely unique experience with so many displays, all crammed full of information and curious artefacts. I really enjoyed my visit and would thoroughly recommend it. Loved the witch in her life size cottage, complete with spooky cat!

I first visited the Museum 6 years ago with my daughter, a practising witch, and found it absolutely enthralling! We came back the following year but tragically my daughter died 2 months later from a rare heart infection. As my daughter fell in love with Boscastle and hoped to move to Cornwall to work as an EHO and contaminated land... More
