Holly hippogriffs! A Harry Potter-esque afternoon tea is opening in London's Soho, and any budding witches or wizards need to grab their broomsticks and owls and fly over asap.
If wearing a robe, grabbing a wand and taking part in an immersive afternoon of magic sounds up your Diagon Alley, Cutter & Squidge's The Potion Room is a must-do. The two and a half hour sessions include creating colourful concoctions with a potions master, drinking Unicorn Tears and channelling your inner Hermione Granger.
Guests can tuck into afternoon tea spread of sweet and savoury treats, including Rock Cakes, Galaxy Juice, and a bite-sized rendition of a knickerbocker glory, which are all presented in an adorable Hedwig-inspired cage.
It's a feast Dumbledore would be proud of, and the event description reads, "
"You are invited to attend a Potions Class at the Cutter & Squidge secret School of Wizarding Alchemy, where delicious food and magical potions combine in our wonderful and exclusive world of fantasy.
As a wizard-in-the-making, you will be invited to join our Potion Master to learn some of his secrets in an immersive experience, whilst enjoying a feast for all senses.
We will not give too much away, you will just need to come and experience it for yourself!"
Tickets cost £49.50 for adults and £39.50 for children aged eight to 12, and are available from the website. Daily sittings take place at 12pm, 3pm and 5pm from the launch date on May 3. Race you there!
