Looking for a fun, themed day out in Manchester this summer? Why not make it magical?

Here, we have listed our top five steps on how to have the most magical experience day in Manchester. So, grab your wand, your cloaks, and your friends, and let’s head into the city for some spell-casting and sorcery!

1. Dress Up

If you’re planning on enjoying all the fun things Manchester has to offer on a magical day out, you may as well look the part! We’re talking pointy hats, capes, broomsticks…. or even just your favourite black cat t-shirt and some witchy eyeliner. Have fun with it, as you’ve got a special day ahead!

2. Visit the Sights

Now you’re dressed and ready, time to see the sights! Manchester is home to some fabulous and awe-inspiring places, but few are as enchanting as John Rylands library. It’s hard not to feel swept away by mystic and magic here, so we’d definitely recommend a visit on any magical Manchester day out.

Furthermore, those looking for scientific sorts of magic should take a trip to the Manchester Science and Industry Museum, to discover all sorts of wonders the “real” world has to offer!

3. Do a Spot of Magical Shopping

There’s nothing more magical than supporting small businesses, so why not head out for a spot of shopping? Especially in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, you’re bound to find a treasure trove of stores offering unique wares with which to adorn your own castle.

4. Enrol at the University of Magic at Lucardo!

Of course, there’s no experience more magical in Manchester than a wizardry-themed escape room at Lucardo! Our fan-favourite game, University of Magic, is bound to leave witches and warlocks of all ages simply spellbound. Full of puzzles to solve, spells to cast, and potions to craft, you’ll be feeling more powerful than ever before after a game with us!

5. Have a Magical Movie Night

After a busy day of spell-casting and sorcery, we suggest heading back to your own home castle, and snuggle up for the most magical of movie nights. Did you know that the entire Harry Potter franchise is currently streaming on Netflix? Why not order your favourite takeaway, grab some cloaks (or comfy blankets), and snuggle up for a film marathon?
