Calling all witches, wizards, and muggles.
Join Collins Booksellers on Lydiard this winter for a magical adventure. Don your robes, arm your wands and step into their store for a chance to be transformed into the world of Hogwarts.
The annual Harry Potter Treasure Hunt is back again, with new clues to follow and prizes to be won. Visitors can expect challenging clues, magical prizes and wizarding fun. There will be something for everyone (muggles and wizards alike). Enjoy being immersed in the magic of the Wizarding World with fellow fans.
Don't miss out on this enchanting event - suitable for all ages. May your wands be ready, and your minds be sharp. See you at the bookshop for a Harry Potter Treasure Hunt like no other.
Bookings are not required, as this tournament is self paced and can be completed in your own time whenever you visit the store.
