What else is on at Imagine Experiences London & Edinburgh?

Craft your very own wand and join Edinburgh's school of magic!

Join the candlelit Edinburgh School of Magic in an ancient cave hidden right behind St Giles cathedral and lost for centuries after the Great Edinburgh Fire, for a private interactive workshop where you’ll learn to create your own wand.

Every wizard must have a wand, and you must be sure that yours is the right one for you! Select your wood, gather your magic and get ready to craft your own wand and to cast your first spell during this immersive experience.

Our Wand Master will help you select your wood and your wand core, carve your protective runes in the handle, sculpt the shape of your wand and paint it before launching your first spell!

During this activity for both children and adults, enjoy soft drinks and magical teas, and let yourself be carried away by the magic.

What's included in my magical wand making experience?

  • One hour 30 minutes of wizardry fun!
  • One wand & materials
  • One “spell”
  • Soft drinks, tea and biscuits
  • Tour guides with unrivalled knowledge & expertise

Let the magic begin!

You'll meet at the workshop; which is located in an ancient cave hidden behind St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh. Tap 3 times the stone at the corner of the Cathedral to enter and let the magic begin!
