York’s newest attraction is opening soon, and we’ve teamed up with the wizards to give you an exclusive opportunity to try it for FREE! Read on to find out how…
The Potions Academy will open officially at its home in York’s famous Shambles in September 2024 and be made up of The Potions Class and The Broom School. The Broom School will allow witches and wizards to fly from Goathland in the North Yorkshire Moors back to Shambles York via key landmarks including Whitby and Howard Castle with a potion and souvenir video to take away.
The Potions Class promises to be a magical family experience. Led by a potion master who will impart the wisdom of esteemed alchemist and wizard of the highest order, Phileas Fry, young wizards will learn magical before graduating and receiving their very own magical potion.
Suitable for children aged 5+, the experience lasts around 30 minutes, and is only accessible up a flight of stairs. Would you like the exclusive chance to try it for free? Of course you would!
