We’re located at 3 Spooner Road, Broomhill, Sheffield, S10 5BL, and there are a couple of parking options nearby: 🚗 Broomhill Shopping Centre Car Park – This is just behind our building (accessible via the ramp). Parking costs from £1.60 per hour, and payment is made via the Connect Cashless Parking app or at connectcashlessparking.com (Location Code: 5143). Please ensure you pay and don’t overstay, as this is a camera-monitored car park and they have a strong ten minute policy from arriving in the car park to buying your ticket. We also recommend that you keep your ticket after your visit, just in case, as a record of your transaction (because the car park people are not very nice!). Council Car Park – A small 12-space car park is available 20 metres up the hill from us. Spaces are limited, so arriving early is advised. If you are considering using public transport, the 52 bus stops just 20 metres away from The Steel Cauldron, making access easy. 🚌 Travelling from further afield? Trains to Sheffield | EMR | East Midlands Railway

Yes, we really want you to come and celebrate with us. Send us an email to wizards@thesteelcauldron.co.uk with what date you are wanting, who its is for (how old are they & name of the birthday child), how many guests you are expecting (adults and children) and we can get you booked in. See our party page for more info

Nope! You can choose to do a craft or not, its up to you. We are happy if you just book and have Wizards Tea, or come and just craft or even just have a brew, the choice is yours. Check out our 'Daytime at The Steel Cauldron' sessions for more information and booking

Absolutely YES. We love it when you come in costume

Only one of us is taking the lesson do I need to book a seat for all of us or just the one child taking the lesson? Yes, please book for every body in the building. We need to know for allocating tables, so book for everyone who wants a seat. The deposits will be taken off your total bill on the day. Only the person taking the lesson will be charged for Wizard School Do I need to bring anything for the lesson? No, all materials and props needed for the lesson are provided, but feel free to wear your wizarding costumes and bring a wand if you have one. Can I drop off my child and pick them up after the lesson? We are keen to encourage families to take part in activities together and require at least one responsible adult to accompany the children taking part in your group. Only the people taking the lesson need to pay the £8 activity fee, everyone else just pays for the food and drink they consume. My child is quite shy, will this be a noisy or boisterous lesson? The lessons can be a little loud at times, but Professor Carter is quite strict when it comes to taking the classes and uses his magical powers to create a good learning environment. Everyone stays at their tables and the magic lessons do not require any interaction between tables or running around. We want to make the classes as accessible as we can and if you group have any special needs please drop us a note when booking and we can get back to you to discuss options. Will the lesson be too difficult for my child? We appreciate that all children are different and all our lessons have successfully been run for groups of children aged 6+. Sometimes our younger students may need a little helping hand from the adults in the group, and our Wizards are on hand to help both the child and the adults. We go at a gentle pace and spend lots of time repeating the tricks and visiting each group to help everyone.

When are the Owls here? The Owls are here with us most Sundays and also Wednesdays and Fridays during School holidays. The Owls don't live here at The Steel Cauldron. Can we craft during the Owl session? You can craft either before (before the 4pm Owl session) or after (after the 10am Owl session) the session, but please let us know in advance so we can extend the length of time at your table Food & Drink Breakfast is served at the 10am Owl session, lunch menu is served at the 4pm Owl session - please take a look at our Magical Menu page for food options Food is served after the Owls have flown

No, crafting is optional - if you choose to craft, all options are in our menu How long do we have at the table? Your table is booked for 90 minutes, if we have availability then you are welcome to stay longer. Weekends and holidays do get busy though, so we tend to have to stick to the 90 minute session time.

Usually yes, as we get very busy at weekends and holidays. We do try to take walk ins at busy times but we cannot guarantee it, so booking is best. Check out our schedule page for what's on and when. If you can't find a session with enough spaces then please try a few other sessions, if there is nothing else available then book as many spaces as possible and let us know in the comments the exact number coming. (that said, if there is just one space available on that session and you want to book for 8, then we may struggle to get you in at that time) . Send us an email wizards@thesteelcauldron.co.uk or give us a call and we can see what we can do. The booking fee for every activity is £5 per person and this is deducted from your final bill on the day. Book for everyone who wants a seat (incl. high chairs), that way we can get you a table big enough

If there is at least 24 hours before your visit then you can reschedule by going to our member area, join up using the same email you used to make the original booking and then going to "my bookings" where you can reschedule. Or give us a call or email and we can get your booking moved. Within 24 hours notice, we are happy to reschedule your booking but if you are cancelling we can not refund deposits

The £5 payment is a booking deposit, not the total cost. The booking fee will be deducted off your total bill on the day. This is £5 per person and will be taken on booking
