At the Forbidden Experience, guests walk down a magically illuminated woodland trail, where you'll be able to use your wand to cast spells, and dine out on specialty food from the wizarding world.

The experience has been constructed at The Briars, a spectacular 230-hectare wilderness area.

You'll come face-to-face with magical creatures from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, such as Hippogriffs, unicorns, Nifflers, and more.

It's a family experience, suitable for people of all ages to enjoy.
