An immersive cocktail making class with a hint of technology, science and wand magic. Wands & Wizard Exploratorium is one of London’s most quirky venues located in the Soho area which offer numerous experiences for all wizards & witches of any ages. 

The creator company, The Cauldron is behind the magic, which started as a Kickstarter project to be the world’s first wizard pub in London, before transforming and franchising its way to hundreds and thousands of non-magical beings around the world! 

“The Cauldron® Company’s mission is “to bring fantasy to life with science, technology, and design, and to create an inclusive community of people who believe that magic is possible⁠—it’s just a matter of perspective.”  We call this The Magic of Things.”

“The Magic Wand Experience at the Wands & Wizard Exploratorium® is a BRAND NEW interactive retail experience unlike any other in existence. Step into the imagined worlds from your childhood to design and construct your own working, illuminated magic wand and bring it to life through the magic of science.”

“Wizard Afternoon Tea at The Wands & Wizard Exploratorium® is a social-distance friendly, interactive tea-brewing experience where you step into the imagined worlds of your childhood through the subtle science of tea brewing, molecular gastronomy, and technology. It has been specially designed for social distancing!”

Both these experiences seem very exciting and to know a little more, including costs and availability, we recommend you check directly with them. 

Whilst you enjoy some Unicorn Blood at your crafting tables, you then get to start on the next 2 cocktails for your experience. You are given some time to of course enjoy your first drink. At each crafting table, you have a wizard station which had many different elements to it, a magical wand to operate it and a menu of cocktails you can create (and additional cocktails & shots you can purchase). 

We had a choice of 4 different cocktails to make during our evening and each pair can select 2 of these 4. So with a group of 4, you can order all 4 and try each drink they have to offer at present. We believe these drinks are regularly updated and do change. 

Our first cocktail included a range of different viles & containers which had a selection of ingredients in to create this magical drink. Each cocktails comes with a handy crafting guide, breaking down what each ingredient is, if it contains alcohol and so on. Sometimes the creation requires assistance from a magic assistant which can be seen floating around the area. In this case, he provided us a valuable timepiece which gave the drink a magical bubbling effect which… never stopped producing bubbles! 

Overall, The Wizard Exploratorium has so much to offer as a thrilling magical experience. To be able to create & craft your own cocktails with the use of technology & science is such a buzz alone. With the help of the magical assistants, the theming and the building, it all comes together as one of the quirkiest venues in London.

We very much recommend if you love the wizarding and magical world, then to experience either this or the Wizard Afternoon Tea experience, which seem to have very similar crafting vibes. All tickets, further information and opening times can be found via their website.

Thank you to the team who gifted us 2 Potion Making Experiences during our visit, whilst showing us around the full venue. We enjoyed every second and look forward to maybe visiting in the future to make our own wand or even try some tea!
