We hope that you can join us on Saturday, October 11th 2025 to join us at the Harry Potter Studio Tour.
Get ready for Hallowe’en with the Harry Potter Dark Arts feature. Step into the iconic sets from the Harry Potter film series in a spookier setting as we dim the lights and set the stage, especially for Hallowe’en.
During the Dark Arts event, there will be two processions of Death Eaters throughout the Studio Tour. The processions will use lighting and sound effects at the Leaky Cauldron, Dumbledore’s office, the Potions classroom, Hagrid’s hut and bike, and the Hogwarts Express train and train tracks.
Whether your allegiance is Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin, you can take in the wonders of Hogwarts. The Harry Potter Studio Tour possesses a stunning series of sets from the film series that can be seen up close.
The sets include The Great Hall, Gryffindor Dorm Room, Diagon Alley, Privet Drive, Hagrid’s Hut, Dumbledore’s Office, Gringotts Bank and the Forbidden Forest, to name but a few. The impressive Gringotts Bank & Dragon also await alongside thousands of props and costumes. It’s a truly fantastic venue, with lots to take in, so don’t forget your cameras!

Non-Payment & Non-Cancellation
We totally appreciate that plans can change, health can change, emergencies can happen, and life can get in the way when you least expect it to, especially as parents, carers and guardians of children with additional needs, but we cannot emphasise enough how important it is to stay in touch with the team when it comes to bookings.
We understand that such things can happen and that they can definitely be hard to talk about at times, we always try to help the families we support as much as we can. Sometimes, this sadly just won’t be possible, but we will certainly try if there is a path to do so. All we ask is that you stay in touch and just be honest with us. Conversations and communication are private, and it is so much easier and quicker to help you this way.
Please do bear in mind that non-payment of invoices or not communicating with us about items, tickets etc we have purchased for you in a timely manner will have adverse impact across the board. As a small childrens charity we have to be incredibly careful with funds and items not being paid for has huge impact on us and will simply prevent future events from happening, as we are not able to absorb losses of that nature.
We leave payments for all events and sessions open as long as possible to help families, but at the same time, we have commitments and deadlines to the venues we work with, which we must adhere to, or lose such opportunities.
Please remember that the following steps can occur if you don’t pay invoices or inform us.
- Any invoice/payment outstanding at the deadline is at risk of cancellation and impacting you
- You can see your places cancelled for the event/session, and a cancellation notice will be sent to you.
- You will no longer be able to access ANY of our events, sessions or the Max Card moving forwards
- Any bookings for events in the future you are on will be immediately suspended
- Your membership with us can be suspended or permanently revoked
- Spectrum reserves the right to pass outstanding invoices for commercial/legal collection, and additional charges can occur
- Additionally, Spectrum has a zero tolerance for any kind of behaviour/communication that is deemed to be rude/abusive – our team are also parents of children with additional needs and volunteer their time.
Please Stay in Touch!
As always if you have any questions about any aspect of of our events, the payment process, or cancellations email us at events@spectrum.org.uk and we will be happy to see where we can help!
Our Recommendation
If you are a Facebook user, we recommend joining our private members-only Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/spectrumcio – you will need your membership number with us (starting with the letters SC) after you request to join. If this isn’t accurately supplied, the request will be rejected.
In addition to general information, we post here when confirmations, QR codes, reminders, and so forth are sent out so you can be sure to check your email at the right times. This is helpful as many mail providers can filter such emails to junk and other areas, so you can be sure you don’t miss anything or lose your place if it doesn’t land in your main inbox directly.
Our Instagram & Facebook stories are also good places to get news in advance and see the different things we are working on behind the scenes. Please do follow our Instagram account, as we will be sharing information, stories, images and videos leading up to the visit of the main man in red!
