“I find this humerus!”

From Wizard back to Dr Teapot, and no transfiguration spell required… 🧙‍♂️⚡️🫖

A very special shift at Leeds General Infirmary, with six Giggle Doctors on a takeover day for Theodora Children's Charity to celebrate 10 years visiting the hospital 🎉

We handed out cakes and other goodies, and visited as many wards and waiting areas as we could!

We were also treated to homemade lemon drizzle cake by a long-term staff member, as well as thank you cards from the staff, and lots of silly fun and photos 🤪

I’m delighted to have an ongoing partnership with Something To Look Forward To, who Days Out Now first let me know about!

This wonderful charity supports families affected by cancer by offering activities, days out, experiences and hotel breaks.

Families can apply for a Wizard Walk voucher for four people, along with two Wizard Wand Kits…to help spread a little extra magic and fun where it’s needed most! ✨

Following my Mince Pie scarf post the other day, I’ve had an idea for a new video series I could do over Christmas…what do you think? 🤔

‘Who Ate All The Mince Pies?’ would see me taste-test and video review mince pies all over York, ultimately crowning a winning pie! 🥧

I promise* that it’s not just a way that I can eat loads of mince pies…

Where would I go though? Definitely…

Wheldrakes, Bruks Cafe York, Bettys York, Sweet Dreams Bakery York, The Old York Tea Room, Bluebird Bakery, 200 Degrees Coffee and Mr Chippy York for a battered one!

*Not a promise

A 12/10 review from the kids and 5 stars from the grown ups? Music to my magical ears!

So glad you all enjoyed the tour Avocado Events, along with the Wizard of York ice-creams from Loopy Scoops!

Hope to see you again on another wand-er around our enchanting city 😀

Did you know, The Wizard Walk has some of the smallest group sizes in town…because kids are pretty short!

No, I mean we cap the tours at a smaller maximum capacity to ensure everyone can SEE the magic and HEAR the cutting-edge (maybe) comedy! 🪄😆

Even with waiting lists as long as a Wizard’s staff this half-term, we didn’t push it and kept the group sizes manageable and fair.

For an even smaller-group experience you can book private tours for birthdays, school groups, Rainbows, Brownies, Beavers, Cubs and more!

New Mince Pie Appreciation Society scarf by Alphabet Bags from Holly & Co, I just had to! 🤩

I’m not going to MINCE my words, I love mince pies and have been known to SCARF them down over Christmas.

Do you like them? 🤔

I’ve already had a stunning Mince Cookie from Sweet Dreams Bakery York, and have previously enjoyed the deep-filled pies from Wheldrakes and the frangipane-topped treats from Bruks Cafe York. Can’t wait to try more!

Who ate all the (mince) pies? Me, probably! 🥧

Once a Wizard always a Wizard!

On today’s day off I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch and enjoying lots of family time 😃

The in-game avatar is fully customisable so of course I’ve called him Phoenix, and given him blue hair and round specs! Just need to unlock some red robes and a pointy hat next…

How’s your Sunday been?

What an absolutely wondrous review to end the week on, from today’s 4pm tour 🥰

I’m always so grateful when people take the time to share their feedback online, it’s music to my magical ears 🪄👂

Thank you Ashley for these enchanting words. I can’t wait to welcome you all back on another wander around York!

Celebrating the end of our busiest week EVER with a visit to pizza-wizards Cresci Pizzeria! 🍕

Fried pasta, the pumpkin and pancetta special and of course their famous tiramisu 😋

Then Phoenix and family went to…Phoenix…at The York Minster! A spectacular sound and light installation to mark 40 years since the fire that ravaged York’s iconic cathedral.

After 30 tours all sold out this week I’m sure I could run more tomorrow, but we’re taking Sunday off as a family day for a little rest and relaxation!

Thank you to everyone who wandered with me or Viridian this week, you’re all MAGIC 🪄

You might’ve seen The Ghosts in the Gardens over half-term, but have you spotted any spooky spectres elsewhere? 👻

This bucket-wielding w***h can be found above The Shop That Must Not Be Named on Shambles, York, and is easy to miss (but not from my Wizard HQ!)

Ghosts made of chicken wire? What a MESH!

For BUCKET-loads of fun, book the most magical ticket in town at www.wizardwalkofyork.com 🪄

Dumbledore is grumpy because all tours are full again today, with waiting lists.

Don’t be like Dumbledore, book ahead for an experience that’s never a DumbleBORE (best I can do with the source material!)

P-p-picking up a piece of pumpkin cake from Wheldrakes before today’s tours 🎃

A little fantastical fuel for the final stint. The verdict? GOURD-geous! 😋

A good strong coffee, and I see they’ve also started doing huge slices and traybakes from Cray Bakes

Me too Mother Shipton's Cave, me too! Make mine an…Espresso Patronum ☕️⚡️

Mrs Wizard took our eldest son to the Hocus Pocus event yesterday with a friend, and all had a bewitching time 🧙‍♀️

A trio of tours today and all fully booked once again, but it’s never too early to book for a future tour!

Happy November! And to all tour guides who were walking and wandering last night, I salute you.

A trio of tours today all fully booked, and the same again tomorrow. Book for future tours at www.wizardwalkofyork.com

“The kids gave this tour 12/10, and five stars from the adults too!” Avocado Events ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Volume up! It’s our eldest mini wizard’s 9th birthday this weekend, and one of the things he wanted was a playable Lego potions classroom 🧪 So, as well as putting the finishing touches to party bags and decorations, I’ve been tinkering away at this whilst Mrs Wizard is working on a Sorting Hat cake ⚡️🎂 A magical weekend awaits with more wizard Lego, a fantastic feast of pizza, pottering around the shops in York and a stay at 101 House At The End! ✨

Finished Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes joke shop and magic emporium! And is it me, or does this be-hatted magician on top remind anyone of a certain Magic Hatter? 🤔 I raise my hat to you all! 🎩 #Lego #legoharrypotter #legoharrypottercollection #legoweasleyswizardwheezes #legoweasley #legofun #legofan #legoplay #legobuild #legobuilding #themagichatter #magichatter #magichatterentertainments
