opening of Gringotts

On Thursday, 4th April, GLT Magazine

attended the launch of the new Gringotts

Wizarding Bank at The Warner Bros. Studio

Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter

which is now open to visitors.

Entering the new attraction is breath-taking

as you walk between towering marble pillars

and underneath giant crystal chandeliers.

Visitors will discover models of some of the

goblins who run the bank as well as costumes

and prosthetics belonging to Bogrod, Griphook

and many other goblin bankers. Plus, step

inside the Lestrange’s Vault and discover the

enchantments within.

New GLT Show venue

is creating a buzz

Some leading group travel organisers have

given their verdict on the new location for

this year’s Group Leisure & Travel Show.

Visiting the Marshall Arena at Stadium

MK, Milton Keynes, which is where

the 2019 exhibition will be staged on

Thursday 10th October, the GTOs were

impressed with the facilities.

Marian Durbidge, Herts Theatre Club and

Go Together Travel Club said: “I’m really

looking forward to it. Everything is so easy

at the Marshall Arena. And because it’s the

first time the Group Leisure & Travel Show has been held in Milton

Keynes there’s such a buzz about it – everyone will want to be here.”

Others said a major factor was the free parking – with hundreds

of spaces right outside the arena. Sylvia Saxon, chair of the New

Meridian Association said hosting the GLT Show in Milton Keynes

“made sense” and that visitors would be able to make a “real day of it

with shops, restaurants and everything you need on the doorstep”.

• For exhibiting details at the new venue, call Sharon Yandell on

Kate Humble, Simon Calder and Julie Peasgood have been

announced as this year’s celebrity speakers for the free-to-attend

Seminar Theatre at the show this year.

• Marian Durbidge,
  Sylvia Saxon and Mary
  Gotts give Stadium MK
  the seal of approval.
