Witch City Broom Making Workshop
Is the Witch City Broom Making Workshop Worth It
The Witch City Broom Making Workshop is a 90-minute session with an instructor at the Old Town Hall building in Salem, from $135 per person, rated 4.92 by 159 travellers on GetYourGuide at the 23 September 2026 check — the best-rated product on this site. You choose a handle of 24, 36 or 48 inches, broom corn in colours, trinkets, dried flowers and ribbon, and leave with a witch’s broom you made yourself.
It is a workshop, not a tour of 1692, and it is indoors, so the weather does not matter. The rules are strict: be ten minutes early, latecomers are not admitted, no unattended children in the waiting area, and the workshop does not ship — the UPS Store is nearby.
Yes, if you want to make something rather than walk. $135 for 90 minutes and a broom to take home, rated 4.92 from 159 reviews. The honest minus: it is not a tour of 1692, there are stairs to enter and no shipping from the workshop — the UPS Store is nearby. For the history, add the 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk for $25.
