A Magical Experience for All Ages! I booked the Potion's Academy on a whim while searching for fun activities during our short break — and I’m so glad I did! My 9-year-old son absolutely loved every minute of it... and at 41, I did too! John was brilliant, hilarious from start to finish and totally in character, making the whole experience feel immersive and magical. The location is beautifully themed and full of charm, really adding to the atmosphere. We visited several places over our 3-day trip, and this was by far a favourite. Highly recommend — it’s an unforgettable experience for kids and grown-ups!

Fantastic experience making potions! I did the adults potions making experience which contained three alcoholic beverages. We kept some of the mixers, the light up ice cubes and a bag as souvenirs which was nice of them! The two guys (and the guy and girl the previous day) were great actors and a good laugh. A really enjoyable experience!

George was a great potion master. It was a lot of fun, as long as you get in the spirit of it all. Yes it is not cheap for a bottle of pop and some beans but the kids got really into it and the magic and that is less than £10 which these days in tourist cities is ace. Would recommend.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An unexpectedly magical hour. I honestly thought I was signing up for a quiet potion-making class, and instead found myself in one of the most entertaining, hilarious, and weirdly heartwarming experiences I’ve had in a long time.

John (our mixologist/showman/part-time chaos agent) was absolutely brilliant — sharp, cheeky, and full of energy. He had the whole room laughing, blushing, and fully engaged from start to finish. The attention to detail, the spontaneity, the drinks (which were surprisingly good!) — all of it made the session unforgettable.

I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed, or like I could just be completely myself — but somehow, this silly little hour made my entire day.

If you’re looking for something fun and immersive, go here. And let John know he’s doing something more than just pouring drinks.

Just been to the Potion's Academy today (Monday) after a tip off from the lady selling stones/rocks yesterday (Sunday). A Magical Experience for All Ages! So glad we book it! My young family (8 year old and 11 year old) absolutely loved every minute of it... and so did us adults too. Jenna was absolutely brilliant from start to finish and totally in character mode, making the whole experience feel immersive and magical. The location is beautifully themed and full of charm and character, really adding to the atmosphere. We visited several places over our 3 day trip, and this was up there as a favourite. Highly recommend it for all ages and it an inexpensive show to visit. Worth every penny. Well done Jenna for making our...

I barely ever write reviews in here, however my recent experience in this magnificent place was MARVELLOUS, to say the least! I had the pleasure and honour to be, for a day, a wizard student of the great Slippy the almighty, Samuel. I went to the family activity and can definitely say, it is made for everyone, suiting all ages. I felt like a kid again in the best a funniest of ways. Gotta say though, a bit mysterious and scary but FUNNY. I can't recommend it enough. Very interactive and entertaining as well; mixing and making our own potions with the guidance of great wizards, with a reward of a potion to take away at the end! I personally chose the Unicorn Essence and...
