Calling all witches, wizards, and muggles! Your Hogwarts letter has arrived, and you’re invited to a magical day at Victoria Park!

Get ready to test your knowledge of the Wizarding World at our Harry Potter Day on Saturday, October 11th. We’ve brewed up an adventure that will see you trekking through the park to collect your school supplies. That’s right—every prospective student gets their own official Hogwarts letter and equipment list before embarking on a thrilling quest!

But the fun doesn’t stop there. Be on the lookout for a golden snitch! If you can catch and return one of these elusive little escapees to a professor, you’ll be rewarded with a delicious snitch cake from Harper’s Café. For those who don’t manage to find a snitch, don’t worry—Harper’s Café will also be selling plenty of other treats (without a single bogey flavoured Bertie Bott every Flavour Bean in sight).

The magic begins at 10am and will last until 2pm. Remember, parking for cars, carriages, and brooms is limited, so we highly recommend using public transport or walking. There’s also a paid car park just a short walk away on Victoria Road.

Come and join us for a day of enchantment, challenges, and magical prizes!
