This Easter Half Term, visitors to The Hole In Wand will be invited to take part in a magical quest across our wizard mini golf courses. Young spellcasters and curious adventurers must search for the six hidden dragon eggs, collect the secret letters, and work together to uncover the spell needed to break the curse.
Complete the challenge and you’ll be rewarded with a chocolatey prize, ready to collect from The Hole In Wand.

Follow in the footsteps of legendary wizard and alchemist, Phileas Fry on the route he used to transport his magical potions, via a network of secret tunnels beneath the streets of York. If detected by authorities, he would likely be accused of witchcraft, but more importantly, he needed to avoid scrutiny from those who practice dark magic and wished to steal his potions for their own nefarious means.
