A Wizard's Summerfest 2024

Friday, July 26

Leave the mundane world behind you and immerse yourself in the magical realm of A Wizard’s Summer Fest. Upon arriving in London, guests will receive their Swinehearts’ letter in the Danbury's living room and see where it all started in the cupboard under the stairs. Next, you will enter through the wall in the back of the Cracked Kettle that opens into the marketplace of Vertical Alley, featuring all of your favorite shops full of wonderful Harry Potter licensed wizarding treats and treasures. Newcomers to the wizard’s world can choose a wand at Oliver's Wand Shop, pick up a new furry friend from The Creature Collection, get their new school robes from Madam Malborough’s Robes for All Occasions, and sip on a Butterscotch Beer from the Cracked Kettle. Afterward, venture into the village of Hogsteade to continue your enchanted excursion. As you pass the Three Sweepers Bar be sure to grab your favorite spellbinding drink to quench your thirst, such as Fireball Whiskey, Hollyjuice Potion or Unicorn’s Blood. All of our exotic beverages come in underage wizard versions as well. Don’t forget to treat your sweet tooth to the delectable variety of confections and candies at Hunnydukes. Or, if you prefer something a little less sweet, stop by Madam Puddlefeet’s Tea Shop to pick up your favorite flavored hot tea. This shopping excursion would not be complete without a stop at Bonker's Joke Shop.

When you’re done browsing through all of the enchanted shops, you will enter the Great Hall of Swinehearts for a delectable dinner rivaling the end of term feast accompanied by entertainment from all across the magical realm. Under the light of hundreds of floating candles, guests will be seated at one of the four house tables, including Lionheart, Sidewinder, Eagletallon, and Badgerton. During dinner you will be entertained by the spellbinding talents of the Swinehearts Toad Choir, the lovely ladies of Baton Rouge with the proud sons of Drumstring, the melodious vocals from Serena Warbucks and the Banshees, and closing the show with a wizard’s trivia tournament between the houses. Be sure to experience the magical new additions to this year’s show!

Don’t forget to try your skill at wizards' and witches’ favorite team sport to win fabulous prizes on our giant balcony.
