10 October - Harry Potter Day
Hogwarts students (along with their magical or muggle friends and family) are invited to Victoria Park’s Harry Potter Day on Saturday 10 October from 10am to 2pm (there's no need to book, simply turn up!).
Each witch or wizard brave enough to enter the Chamber of Secrets will receive a challenge from Tom Riddle.
They can then test their knowledge of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on a trail around the park and complete Riddle’s riddle.
Each student can enter a draw to win some magical prizes.
Parking at the park for cars, carriages and brooms will be very limited so magical and muggle folk should please take public transport or walk if they can. There is a nearby car park on Victoria Road, which is just a five-minute stroll away but this is not free so visitors will need to pay.
So come along at any time from 10am to 2pm for a magical day… but beware the Basilisk!
