A CITY & VILLAGE TOURS SLEEPOVER PACKAGE

Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince Cream Tea Cruise

2 days

This overnight stay combines a visit to the Warner Brothers Studio tour to see the sets from the Harry Potter film series and a day with a top notch Blue Badge guide on our ever popular Olympic Park tour, visiting the London Aquatic Centre and the Velodrome and complete a super 2 day break with the Lee Valley Cream Tea Cruise .

Once production on the eight Harry Potter films ended at Hertfordshire’s Leavesden Studios Warner Brothers film makers were left with a treasure trove of thousands of beautifully crafted objects and full working sets. From the Great Hall to Diagon Alley and the Gryffindor Common room this tour is not just for the kids or even just for Harry Potter fans - it’s a fascinating insight into large scale film production and above all else it’s great fun. Aim to arrive at the studio for about 1pm for a visit of about three and a half hours to fully appreciate the magnificent sets and the magical world of Warner Bros & Harry Potter. There are cafés and shops on site. Of course there are! Once everyone is done casting spells and drinking Butter Beer, it’s back on the coach for the 15 minute drive to the hotel. Free time have a swim or simply relax and freshen up before a 3 course, 3 choice dinner is served.

After a hearty breakfast, the Blue Badge guide arrives to accompany you to the Olympic Park in Stratford. You’ll visit the Velodrome, to see the sharply raked track, sit in the top price seats from the 2012 Games at the Olympic swimming pool and enjoy a short trail into the park to see what we got for £9 billion! The landscape architecture and planting alone is quite something. We break for a two course lunch with coffee in the park at the Podium Cafe at the Orbit - that’s the big red twisty thing.

After lunch we follow the River Lee from the Olympic Park up through a slip of Epping Forest to the rural end of the Lee Valley for a 90 minute cream tea cruise. You’ll be ready to head home from Broxbourne, Herts on the A10 near Junction 25 of the M25 at 5.15pm.
