Full private Edinburgh Wizarding Day

Become a wizard and fight the Dark Lord during an exceptional day in Edinburgh. Start by a guided tour of the street which inspired JK Rowling. Enjoy an escape game, great pub food, an alchemy potion workshop and a magical roleplaying game!

Grab your wands and your brooms, the adventure begins!

You've heard rumours that the Dark Lord is rising again and now the Magical Government has fallen. The prophecy claims that unless the Potion of Power is brewed, he shall stand undefeated. The only problem is the Potion's recipe is a secret guarded deep within the Selkies Bank's vaults. Steal the recipe, brew the potion, and sneak into the Ministry to battle the Dark Lord. Nothing can go wrong, right?

Start your day by retracing the steps of JK Rowling and discover the places which inspired her when she created Harry Potter. After the private tour, warm yourself in one of the most haunted pubs in Edinburgh, and learn its secrets as you enjoy a delicious Scottish meal. Participate in an escape game at the Department of Magic, before heading for an Alchemy workshop and roleplaying game for the rest of the afternoon.

Tour company information

Thunderdices

At Thunderdices we offer private tours and activities in Scotland with a storytelling twist. Discover the hidden myths and legends during tours off the beaten path: from the mysteries of Surgeon Hall which inspired Conan Doyle when he created Sherlock Holmes, to the places which inspired JK Rowling when she created Harry Potter. Be a wizard during hot chocolate potion workshops, alchemy workshops, or even wand-making workshops! Do you want to push this further and play D&D in a templar underground cave system or castle? We can set this up for you as part of our customised experiences.
