The Monstrous Academy comes to Czocha Castle in July.

Dozens of teachers, students and graduates of Nevermore Academy will arrive at our medieval stronghold and hold a Day of Friendship between humans and outcasts.

All this thanks to years of cooperation between the Polish branch of Hogwarts and Nevermore Academy.

At this year’s consortium of mages, mutated beings and humans, a joint decision was taken to remove the barriers between the three most powerful species inhabiting planet Earth. A vote established that the perfect day for unification would be the Day of Friendship, held this year at Czocha Castle.

On 8-9 July, almost all the students of Nevermore Academy will come to Czocha Castle for the MONSTROUS

ACADEMY festival. The purpose of the visit is to popularise outcasts and to spread absolute tolerance. Outcasts of every kind will appear in the castle courtyard – vampires, sirens, werewolves, gorgons. The Addams family will be there too, having booked our princely chamber well in advance.

Czocha Castle will become a safe haven for all the outcasts who wish to show humans their best side. The outcasts have planned many attractions to share with the human population.

From reliable sources we know that there will be fencing displays and workshops, cello and harp concerts in a fiery arrangement, dance shows and dance lessons (the popular dance from the Rave’N Ball will be performed several times). You will witness a gothic fashion show and take part in numerous workshops inspired by the world of Tim Burton.

These and many other attractions, only at Czocha Castle.
