Much of the first Harry Potter film was filmed in Northumberland, so in homage to the wizarding world why not take your young wizards on an escape room-style family adventure? The Magic Bottles is a brand-new outdoor attraction located in Alnwick. Here broomsticks, bookshops, jousts and dragons are just a few of the challenges waiting to surprise you! The game guides you around Alnwick where you will meet the town's ghostly characters and hear about the 200-year-old folklore of the Dirty Bottles pub. All you need is your smartphone and some wizardly luck as the game blends Harry Potter-inspired plot alongside local legend!

If being out on the water is more your thing, why not try sea kayaking in Craster? Starting in the harbour, this adventure takes you along Northumberland's rugged coastline, where you will navigate around reefs, under cliffs, hidden coves, and secluded beaches. You will also have the opportunity to stop and explore more of these hidden gems or even try some cliff jumping!
