Salem Witch Workshops: Three Picks

Salem witch workshops are the hands-on side of the Witch City: four GetYourGuide products at the 23 September 2026 check, from $52 to $140, each ending with something you keep — a broom, a spell, a reading or a set of photos. None of them is a history tour of 1692, though two of them walk past the Memorial and the Witch House on the way.

Pick by what you want to take home. For a keepsake, the broom workshop: 90 minutes, $135, rated 4.92 by 159. For the lowest price and a walk, the practice walk: $52 for two hours and 1.5 miles. For a reading, the psychic tour: three hours, $140, 5.0 from 26.

MAKE AND TAKEA broom you make yourself in 90 minutes — 4.92 from 159.

Ninety minutes, one broom

Witch Broom Making Workshop Salem

The Witch City Broom Making Workshop is the best-rated product on this site. For $135 you spend about 90 minutes with an instructor at the Old Town Hall building, choose a handle of 24, 36 or 48 inches, broom corn in colours, trinkets, dried flowers and ribbon, and leave with a broom you made. Broom making Salem MA style is strict about time: be ten minutes early, latecomers are not admitted.

Meet at the Old Town Hall building near the three staircases — not at the retail store on Essex Street. There are stairs to enter, so the partner lists it as not suitable for wheelchair users, and children must not be left unattended in the waiting area. The workshop does not ship; the UPS Store nearby does.
