Wizard Fest
A throwback to the golden days of Harry Potter — only this time we're old enough to drink alcohol.
Overview
If, for the last 20 years or so, you've been hanging out for your acceptance letter to Hogwarts, well, sorry to say: it's not coming. But that's okay because The Colonial Hotel is determined to make it up to you by way of Wizard Fest. There won't be: George Weasley, flying brooms. There will be: fortune telling, wand selling and magic.
Head into The Colonial on Friday, July 28 in your finest witch or wizard get-up (don't be a muggle, now – there's a best dressed prize) for the fest, and you can live out all your Hogwarty dreams for a night. There'll apparently be a DJ Snape spinning "cauldrons" all evening as well as a free photo booth.
Look, Harry Potter may have been made for kids but, no, we're still not over it. As such, this is an 18+ event so don't bring your younger siblings (or your cats or toads) and there will be firey whisky and buttery brews on offer.
