The Cauldron began as a Kickstarter project to open the world\u2019s first wizard pub right here in London, and it now has multiple locations across the world. Hundreds and thousands of mere muggles now have the opportunity to try the immersive cocktail making experience.<\/p>\n
And it truly is a unique experience, and one we think you should try! Particularly as the spooky season is now in full swing. Here\u2019s what we thought of it.<\/p>\n
Buy The Cauldron experience for two for \u00a375 at Virgin Experience Days<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n When we arrived at The Cauldron<\/a> in Stoke Newington, we headed down a flight of stairs and immediately got transported to a different, magical world. London high street? We don\u2019t know her. We\u2019re wizards now.<\/p>\n We were shown to our potion making table and given cloaks and a wand between us. We sat opposite a decapitated unicorn head amongst other bizarre objects on the wall (disclaimer: the unicorn head isn\u2019t real), and on the table was a plasma ball, some wooden boxes and various riddles. There\u2019s actually a mystery prize if you guess all of the riddles correctly, but although the RadioTimes.com<\/strong> team are very talented in other ways, riddle solving is not our forte.<\/p>\n A complimentary welcome drink awaited us; a lovely lychee cocktail which was poured from a giant icy tube in the ceiling\u2026 Next, we picked our poison. We opted for two alcoholic drinks: a gin-based cocktail and a tequila-based cocktail, however you can choose non-alcoholic drinks, as well as vegan and gluten-free ones.<\/p>\n To whip up the potions, you\u2019ll need your wand, the instructions booklet and a magic touch. Luckily for us, we had all three.<\/p>\n Our first potion bubbled and the second potion was poured into a smoky glass \u2013 but not before we completed a fire ritual where we cursed our enemies\u2026 We don\u2019t want to give too much away, but the illusion of actual magic is created when you create your drinks, and it was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n Although The Cauldron is not affiliated with the Harry Potter franchise, this spellbinding bar does an excellent job of keeping the wizarding magic alive.<\/p>\n For more magical-themed things to do, check out the best London walking tours<\/a>, where we\u2019ve included a Harry Potter experience. Also, here are the best immersive experiences in London<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Buy The Cauldron experience for two for \u00a375 at Virgin Experience Days<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In our opinion, The Cauldron is absolutely worth going to.<\/p>\n In the two-hour experience, you\u2019ll enjoy three cocktails and a complimentary (smoking) shot, and there\u2019s plenty to keep you entertained, too, like making the potions and trying to crack the riddles. There\u2019s also the option to buy more drinks if you fancy it.<\/p>\n The lengths The Cauldron has gone to to make the experience magical is fantastic. As well as the cloak and wand, the d\u00e9cor and music is completely on-brand, as are the people who work there.<\/p>\n Buy The Cauldron experience for two for \u00a375 at Virgin Experience Days<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Cauldron is located on 5d Stoke Newington Road in East London.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the nearest tube to The Cauldron?
