About
Our magical apothecary was opened in 1148 by our founder, Graham Grimm. He has been selling potions, wild schemes and kitchenware to magical beings of all distinction since that time. In February 2016, Graham decided to lift the invisibility spell that shielded the apothecary, and become visible to human customers. We are aware that humans may use our products slightly differently to the magical beings, for example, humans call our disguise kits "T-Shirts"!
All the proceeds from our magical apothecary go towards providing free, imaginative, exciting writing workshops to young people, aged 7-18 years. We raise confidence and self esteem, allowing children and young people to explore their creativity and imagination, changing lives one story at a time.

Frequently asked questions
Can I visit the shop?
Yes, absolutely! You’ll receive a warm welcome, but look out for our opening times before you come. The shop is open throughout the week and there are experiences to try and great gifts to buy.
Rooftop parking for broomsticks is available; mortals can find parking at https://www.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/rotherham and there are reasonable parking rates available around the town centre. Free parking is available on weekends and during seasonal periods.
Rotherham is also accessible by train; the journey takes just 10 minutes from Sheffield centre.
I love what you do, how can I help?
You can become a volunteer, come into our FOG (Friends of Grimm), become a sponsor/fundraiser for us and help raise funds in our name, or you could join one of our membership schemes. See our website or email grimmapothecary@gmail.com for details. Also, simply buying your gifts from our shop (online or in Rotherham) helps us to provide more free writing workshops to our children.
How much are your after school and holiday programmes?
That’s simple: THEY’RE COMPLETELY FREE! We want to make sure there are no barriers to children in being able to join us. If you would like to support us in doing this we would welcome donations, or you could become a member of the Order of the B.F.G (Benefactors and Fairy Godparents). Email grimmapothecary@gmail.com for more details.
