Hi all! I am traveling to Edinburgh with my two daughters, 9 and 12, this August. I have booked Camera Obscura in the morning and was hoping to do the Dept. of Magic Afternoon Tea/Potion Making in the afternoon. Unfortunately, they are only offering the escape room on our date due to Fringe Festival Activities. That might work but hoping to find something else similar to my original plan. Any ideas? It looks like the Cauldron has permanently closed.
Thank you!!
I would go and see a show at the fringe - you'll be spoilt for choice - there will be a plethora of events for children - keep an eye out for forthcoming activities.

Edinburgh in August is the best place in the world
Thanks you!! I will keep an eye out for what becomes available. We are very excited - we will be attending the Tattoo that evening.
We're taking a highland tour from Edinburgh that goes/stops by the famous train viaduct used in the HP movies (among other cool highland things)
How about the tea bus? They have a new Taylor Swift-themed one. https://www.redbusbistro.co.uk/taylor-swift-inspired-bus-tour-edinburgh/
You could go to The Lonely Broomstick shop in Falkirk, and their Potion making experience- https://www.lonelybroomstick.co.uk/potion-experience
