I presume a Witches Festival will start soon.

Do we have confirmation? Dates? Any other details?

    I'd say it all probably kicks off around the 13th for two weeks

    Based on that, the paragraph included there:
    There's one last secret brewing. This Frostfall, a rare celestial alignment will occur on Serpent 13 that the most superstitious in Tamriel call “Fatal Fredas." Some believe this day to be a portent of chaos and ill omen. What will it bring this time? None can know for certain, but all are watching and waiting… and so should you!
    and the fact that the actual Witches Festival is Frostfall 13th on the Tamrielic calendar, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.

    Between the double XP and the extra dolmen rewards, this festival seems like THE time to level up via dolmen grinding.

    I don't know what they'll be this year, but I'm assuming there will be some kind, because there were last year. (Also for delve bosses/world bosses/ etc.) IIRC, they were containers called "Plunder Skulls". Items include motif pages (Hollowjack), Hollowjack style stones (Amber Marbles or whatever), recipes (one of which was Witchmother's Potent Brew), a couple of Runeboxes (for ugly masks), and I forget what else if anything.

    Yeah, it kicked off on the 12th last year (a Wednesday), so around Wednesday 11th is my guess.
    They may hold it off until Friday 13th but who really knows how ZOS thinks....

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    Well, the The Exorcised Coven Cottage will only be available during the festival.

    Ingame it states you can only buy it during the witches festival.

    You can buy it from the 19th until the first of November.

    The Exorcised Coven Cottage will be available on all platforms for a limited time, from October 19 to November 1.
    So my guess is it starts on October 19.

    I got an ESO e-mail though for spooky items starting on the 13th. I feel like Witch's Festival will coincide with that.

    "From the grandiose to the ghastly, there's something for everyone in this month's upcoming Crown Store stock. New items are available each week — so don't miss out!

    And be sure to keep an eye out for some special creepy collectibles that are only available on Friday the 13th..
