Magic and fantasy will invade Barcelona with the seventh edition of the BCN Witch Market, which will take place on December 2 and 3, 2023. The venue: the emblematic historic building of the University of Barcelona, located at 585 Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes.
This annual event, which has evolved from its inception as a gathering of Harry Potter fans to become a major celebration of fantasy literature, will attract lovers of history’s most iconic sagas.
This year’s featured theme revolves around the mysterious “forbidden forest,” a classic fantasy element that has captured the imagination of readers, moviegoers and video game players.
Participants are encouraged to fully immerse themselves in this theme through related cosplays and participate in a variety of themed activities.
From lectures with experts to fantastic art exhibitions, concerts and more, the BCN Witch Market promises a magical and unforgettable experience.
BCN Witch Market at the University of Barcelona
What began as a modest gathering of Harry Potter fans, who chose the majestic building of the University of Barcelona to transform it into Hogwarts for a weekend, has grown over time to become the ultimate celebration of fantasy literature.
During the event, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, December 2 and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 3, participants will have the opportunity to purchase unique handicrafts, such as jewelry, crocheted pieces and clothing, created by other passionate fans.
Unlike other events, the BCN Witch Market does not host official products from large corporations, making it an ideal place to discover and support the creative talent of the community.
Other activities during the event
In addition to the acquisitions, attendees will be able to immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere with special events, such as the reading of fragments of “The Lord of the Rings” by dubbing artist Nuria Mediavilla and talks with writers, including the participation of Maite Carranza, author of “La Guerra de Las Brujas” (The Witches’ War).
It is important to note that, although the tickets were sold out in the presale, there are still some tickets available at the store El Enano Friki, located at 100 Carrilet Avenue in l’Hospitalet de Llobregat.
With its focus on creativity, imagination and community, the BCN Witch Market promises to be a unique celebration that unites fans of magic and fantasy in a vibrant and enchanting environment.
So if you are a lover of Harry Potter and the whole world of magic and fantasy around the saga, you can not miss this opportunity and enjoy the environment and activities.
