Adults' Wizarding Afternoon Tea

Hull Central Library is hosting an Adults' Wizarding Afternoon Tea on Saturday 24 October, from 1 pm to 3 pm. It's part of the Wizarding Events 2026 collection run by Hull Libraries, and it's built for witches and wizards aged 16 and over — an adult alternative to the children's version that runs alongside it.

The afternoon pairs freshly conjured cakes and sandwiches with a bit of a programme: there's magical bingo, a sorting hat ceremony, and a talk on the lore of witches and wizards. It's a shared-table setup, so you'll be sitting with other guests, and photography will be taking place throughout the session. If you're going with a group, you'll likely be grouped together, but it's also easy enough to turn up on your own and meet a few fellow fans.

It's one of several wizarding activities the libraries are putting on across the city during the October half-term. There's a Children's Wizarding Night as well, and magical crafts and Makerspace festivities filling the libraries throughout the break, so if you've got kids in the house, there's plenty more to work around this. The adult tea is the one for the 16+ crowd, though.

Tickets are £6.50 each, and the whole thing runs for two hours on Saturday afternoon at Hull Central Library on Albion Street, HU1 3TF. It's a simple enough afternoon: tea, cakes, bingo, and a bit of wizarding lore to go with them.
