The magical world of Harry Potter comes to life in Mt Martha in April - making its Australian debut. Set in the picturesque Briars, take a nighttime walk through the Forbidden Forest, as you experience moments from the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
Brought to life through incredible props, effects, and lighting, relive scenes and experiences from the beloved series, as you make your way through the hour or so long trail. Bow at a hippogriff, catch a glimpse of a unicorn, and even cast spells to see your very own patronus charm before your very eyes. Some of our favourite moments included a bone-chilling encounter with a dementor, as well as stepping through the acromantula nest and coming face-to-face with Aragog himself.
The overall experience itself is as immersive as it could be - with plenty of spells to cast, and characters to interact with. Complete with the series' music surrounding you throughout the trail, an amazing amount of detail has been put into immersing you into the wonderful world of Harry Potter.
We wrapped up the night with a delicious meal and butterbeer in the themed village, to truly top off the night. So rug up get some walking shoes on, and get your muggle friends together for a magical experience!
Open from April 6, tickets can be purchased from the event's website.
