Witchy Weekend
2024 Yuletide Celebration & Re-Treat
December 13-16, 2024
at the Anchor Inn Bed & Breakfast
New Smyrna Beach, FL
Celebrate Yule with Michelle Orwick at the cozy Anchor Inn in New Smyrna, where the magic of the season comes alive! This charming bed and breakfast, reminiscent of a snug wizarding retreat, offers a perfect escape for the holidays.
​
Each private suite is enchantingly furnished with a queen-sized bed (with two rooms now charmed with king-sized beds, ideal for bringing a fellow witch or wizard), a mini fridge for your potion ingredients, and a personal jacuzzi tub for unwinding after a day of spellcasting. Pet-friendly rooms are available so your magical creatures are welcome too.
​
With the beach just 2 miles away, you can enjoy a refreshing broomstick flight over the waves.
Join us, each morning for a gourmet breakfast with our delightful innkeepers, Sasha and Brenna, who bring a touch of magic to every meal.
​​
Saturday will be brimming with magical activities - opportunities for spellcasting, learning wizarding crafts, and participating in enchanting rituals.
​
As the evening unfolds, we'll gather for a splendid family feast, followed by a powerful beachfront ritual under the stars, culminating in a ceremonial fire to release and renew.
​
On Sunday, the magic continues with divination stations, wizarding crafts, and more.
And, of course, we can't forget the feast-worthy meals that will keep us all spellbound.
​
On Monday, we'll share one final breakfast together before bidding our farewells.
Merry we meet, merry we part, and merry we meet again.
Some activities to expect to appear throughout the weekend:
- House Sorting...
- Ollivanders... Makers of fine wands.
- Potions Class...
- White Elephant Gift Exchange (Wizard Style) Each gift must have a magical theme. For example, “Invisibility Cloak” (a cozy blanket), “Time-Turner” (an hourglass or unique clock), or “Marauder’s Map” (a travel pin map to mark your adventures).
- Yule Feast & Ball
