Laura Sexton: I was recently invited to attend

the launch of the new Gringotts Wizarding

Bank at The Warner Bros. Studio Tour

London – The Making of Harry Potter in

Watford. I’d been to the studios when it first

opened in 2012, but was amazed at how much

more has been added. You can now enter the

Forbidden Forest, hop on board the Hogwarts

express and of course now, discover the

golden goblin bank. Groups are welcome as

you’ll spend several hours in complete awe of

the fascinating sets you’ll see.

Gabby La Mura: I recently took a trip to

Northumberland and visited the wonders of Cragside

House - the home of Tyneside industrialist, Lord

Armstrong. Cragside House was the first house in the

world to be lit by hydroelectricity. It’s amazing to be

able to see this first hand, checking out the gadgets and

modern conveniences. For groups, there is discounted

entry and a free minibus service around the area.

Emma Illman: I went to the Eden

Project over the Easter break with

my family - what an experience.

Whilst I enjoyed going in to the

biomes, the zip wire experience

which travelled over them was

even better. It was scary, but

for thrill seeking groups this is

definitely a must. Plus, you can’t

beat the Cornish ice-cream! The

Eden Project has lots to offer, I

would definitely recommend it for

any group party.
