HAVE your wands at the ready as the wizarding world arrives just down the road from Warrington.
If you’re after a magical experience this autumn, then you’re in luck as the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience returns to Arley Hall and Gardens for a second year.
We dusted off our cloaks and headed down to the night-time woodland trail for a first look.
Filled with magical creatures and wizarding wonders from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast films, the 2022 experience promises to be the best yet.
And it certainly didn’t disappoint with organisers pulling out all the stops (and casting all the spells) this year.
As you make your way through the woodland, the trail is packed with anything and everything Harry Potter-related.
You can expect to come face to face with centaurs, bow to a Hippogriff and can even cast your very own Patronus.
Along the way you can also spot some Hippogriffs, unicorns and Nifflers.
And there are also opportunities for refreshments, including butterbeer, with a village providing themed food and drinks at the end.
But the atmospheric lighting and sound effects are what really make the trail, providing a mesmerising and magical experience with every part of the walk illuminated.
The trail is suitable for witches, wizards and muggles of all ages trail takes approximately 45-75 minutes to complete.
And besides your wand and cloak, you may wish to bring wellies.
Tickets are now available for the experience, which opens from tomorrow, October 15, until December 4.
