“Harry Potter”-Themed School of Wizardry Festival This Weekend at Lancaster Castle

by Grace Candido · August 27, 2016

Grab your wand, hop in your flying Ford Anglia, and jet on over to Lancaster Castle this weekend to attend the School of Wizardry event!

From the creative minds at Sneaky Experience, this weekend is shaping up to be one of the most immersive Harry Potter events around. From August 25 to August 29, Lancaster Castle is hosting a Harry Potter festival complete with classes, potion making, charm casting, games, and food from a variety of different local vendors. There are even a few alcoholic drinks in the Sneaky Cauldron Cafe nearby for those old enough to imbibe.

 

Check out the drinks menu at The Sneaky Cauldron at next weeks Harry Potter outdoor cinema events!

The director of Sneaky Experience, Julia Benfield, states,

Our [e]vents are delivered in a unique and exciting way, which engage[s] with audiences of all ages, who immerse themselves in the entertainment, adding to the fun.

Between the fire-breathers, talking photo frames, grim gatekeepers, and “Gobby, the Goblin,” it promises to be a fun event for attendees of all walks of life!

 

Our first night was a huge success. Thank you everyone for coming. We’re very excited to welcome new students today.
