Wizard School Experience – Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know from enquiry to booking.

How do I know if the Wizard School experience is right for my child?

This experience is perfect for children who light up at the thought of imagination, who express a natural curiosity about characters and stories, and who might already feel a special connection to the magical world of wizarding schools. If your child loves to explore through creative play, enjoys stepping into different roles, and has a rich inner world they’re eager to express, then Wizard School offers a wonderfully affirming space for them. What makes this different is the intentional creation of an environment where who they already are is celebrated and revealed, rather than guided into something new. Clients often tell us they chose this experience because they wanted to honour their child’s individuality and witness their confidence blossom. It’s ideal for families who value seeing their child truly seen and understood.

What does the Wizard School experience involve beyond just robes and wands?

The Wizard School experience is so much more than just costumes and props; it’s an invitation for your child to reveal who they truly are. From the moment they step into our world, we begin by listening deeply to them and to you, their parents, to understand what resonates most strongly with their imagination and inner world. This immersive transformational experience is ideal for children who love character play and desire a space where their individuality is not just observed but celebrated. Clients choose this because it’s a unique opportunity for their child to express their sense of self with confidence and ease, creating meaningful artwork that reflects their unique alignment with characters, stories, and archetypes. It culminates in cherished Wall Art Collections and Treasure Boxes, serving as beautiful, visible reminders of their authentic self, helping them feel truly seen and understood.

How do we actually begin the Wizard School journey?

Beginning your Wizard School journey is a gentle and thoughtful process, designed to ensure a truly meaningful experience for your child and your family. It all starts with a warm invitation to connect for a Discovery Call. This initial conversation is a relaxed opportunity for us to hear about your child, what ignites their imagination, and what you’re hoping to gain from this unique adventure. It’s perfect for parents who sense a deep spark of individuality in their child and are seeking a way to celebrate it. We’ll discuss how the Wizard School experience unfolds, answer all your questions, and ensure it feels like the perfect fit for uncovering your child’s innate confidence and belonging. Clients choose this path because it offers clarity and a sense of emotional safety, knowing they are making a conscious choice to honour their child’s authentic self.

Do you have availability for a Wizard School experience soon?

We understand how exciting it is to envision your child embarking on their Wizard School experience! Because each transformational experience is thoughtfully curated and deeply personal, spaces are intentionally limited to ensure every child feels fully recognised and celebrated. Wizard School opens once or twice a year. We invite you to connect with us for a complimentary Discovery Call, where we can gently explore what you envision and share our current availability.

What if my child is a little shy or unsure at first?

It’s completely natural for a child to feel a little hesitant in a new environment, and we honour that feeling. This experience is ideal for children who may be quiet at first, as I create a gentle, unhurried space where they can explore at their own pace. Clients choose this because the Wizard School experience is crafted to feel like a journey of discovery, not a performance. I listen deeply to both you and your child, allowing them the freedom to step into their character when they feel ready, without any pressure. You’ll witness them blossom from initial reticence into confident expression, affirming who they already are. It’s truly special to see them delight in being themselves.

How should we prepare our child for her Wizard School experience?

To help your child fully embrace their Wizard School experience, the most important preparation is to simply encourage her natural sense of joy and anticipation. This transformational experience is designed for children to feel recognised and celebrated for who they truly are, so there’s no need for intense preparation or memorisation. Instead, we chat with you and your child about their favourite wizarding characters, what they love about their wisdom or playful spirit, or perhaps which house they feel they align with most. This gentle exploration helps them connect with the imaginative world in a way that feels authentic to them. Families often find that allowing their child to bring their own enthusiasm and curiosity makes the experience even more meaningful. It’s perfect for children who delight in stepping into their imagination, and our focus is always on creating a space where they feel comfortable and confident to express themselves freely.

What should my child wear for her Wizard School experience?

Preparing for your Wizard School experience means making sure your child feels completely at ease and ready to step into their adventure. We love that your little wizard to choose their clothes for the experience as they will choose something that aligns with the character they are drawn to, this is also part of building their confidence. This approach ensures they are allowing their imagination and authentic self to shine through naturally without distraction.

Upon arrival, we have beautiful robes ready for you, specially chosen to enhance the magical transformation without compromising comfort. This experience is ideal for children who thrive in environments where they feel relaxed and supported, enabling them to fully embrace their character. Clients choose this approach because it allows the focus to remain on discovery and connection, ensuring your child’s comfort translates into genuine confidence during their time with us.

How long does the Wizard School experience typically last?

Can parents participate or observe during the Wizard School activities?

Absolutely, parents are warmly invited to be present throughout the Wizard School experience and often your little wizard will invite you to participate! This transformational journey is designed not just for children, but for families to share and connect on a deeply meaningful level. While the primary focus is on the child’s imaginative expression, we encourage parents to observe and witness the unfolding magic. Many families find profound joy in watching their child step fully into their authentic self, often discovering new layers of their personality and identity alongside them. It’s an opportunity for shared discovery, quiet reassurance, and creating deeply cherished connections. Your presence helps create a secure and loving environment, allowing your child to explore with confidence and ease.

How long does the transformational experience last?

The Wizard School transformational experience unfolds beautifully over about two hours, ensuring ample time for discovery and immersion without ever feeling rushed. This carefully considered length allows for a relaxed pace where each child can truly settle in, explore the imaginative world we’ve created, and express their unique identity at their own comfort. It’s ideal for a young person who thrives when given space to be themselves, or for parents who wish to fully witness their child’s confidence bloom. What makes this different from other engagements is the emphasis on allowing genuine self-expression to emerge, creating a tangible sense of belonging and worth that begins to flourish the moment they arrive.

What happens once our Wizard School experience is complete?

Once your magical Wizard School transformational experience concludes, the journey of celebration and discovery truly begins! Before you leave, we’ll book a day and time convenient to you to come back for your Design Consultation.  The excitement of being at Wizard School will be felt all over again – your little Wizard will wear their robes and be enthralled as they see their photographs for the first time on the big screen.

Your chosen artwork is carefully crafted to become visible proof of your child’s unique identity. Together, we’ll choose the artwork that will best bring this feeling into your home, serving as daily reminders of who your child truly is and the brilliant confidence they carry.

This is ideal for families who value having tangible, beautiful artwork that consistently affirms their child’s individuality and strengthens family connection long after the Wizard School experience itself. It’s the perfect way to keep the magic alive and allow your child’s truth to resonate within your home every single day.

How do I know I’m choosing something that truly celebrates my child’s unique self?

This is such a wonderful question, and it speaks to the heart of what we create at Wizard School. You know you’re choosing artwork that celebrates your child’s unique self because every piece is born directly from their imaginative experience. It’s not about generic photographs; it’s about translating the discoveries made during their Wizard School adventure into tangible, beautiful declarations of who they are.

Clients choose this because they want more than just a picture; they desire visible proof of their child’s identity and connection. During your Design Consultation, we thoughtfully select artwork that reflects the character they embodied and the insights shared, ensuring it resonates deeply with their spirit. This experience is ideal for parents who want to see their child’s confidence and individuality honoured, not just admired. The resulting artwork becomes a daily emotional anchor, reminding your child and your family of their inherent worth and belonging.

How is this Wizard School experience different from other wizarding world attractions or events I might have seen?

Our Wizard School experience is fundamentally different because it’s designed to be deeply personal and centred entirely on your child’s unique identity. Unlike larger attractions that offer shared, often crowded, experiences, our approach is bespoke. We create an intimate space where your child isn’t just observing magic, but actively participating in a story crafted just for them. This allows for a gentle unfolding of who they truly are, fostering an unhurried confidence and a profound sense of self-recognition.

Clients choose this because it’s ideal for children who thrive in environments where they can express their individuality without competition or distraction. It’s an investment in transformation, offering visible proof your child feels seen, understood, and celebrated, providing an emotional anchor that continues long after the experience.

What makes this experience uniquely tailored to my child, rather than a general themed activity?

This Wizard School experience is profoundly personal because it’s built around *your child’s* unique identity, not just a universal theme. While themed activities can be fun, they often offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Here, we begin by listening deeply to both you and your child, understanding their inner world, their fascinations, and the characters they feel most drawn to. We then craft an imaginative journey where they express who they truly are through character, story, and play. What makes this different is the dedicated focus on celebrating *their* individuality, ensuring they feel truly seen, understood, and confident. It’s perfect for families who value a deeply meaningful experience that affirms their child’s distinct personality and strengths.

How does the Wizard School approach help my child express their individuality and build confidence?

Wizard School offers a unique, imaginative space where your child’s true self can shine. It’s ideal for children who love exploring characters and stories, providing a gentle invitation to step into who they already are with greater confidence. Clients choose this experience because it moves beyond typical activities, creating an exciting and immersive environment where deep listening and playful exploration help us discover the qualities that make your child uniquely them. This isn’t about pretending; it’s about revealing. Your child will feel profoundly seen and understood, developing a quiet self-assurance that comes from expressing their inner world in a supportive and celebratory setting, culminating in artwork that serves as a daily reminder of their belonging and worth.

With so many options for children’s activities, why should we choose Wizard School?

Wizard School offers a uniquely personal and profound transformational experience, ideal for children aged from around eight to twelve who are eager to express their inner world through imagination and play. Unlike busy, crowded attractions where children must fit in, this experience is intentionally designed to celebrate your child’s distinct identity in a supportive, one-to-one setting. Clients choose this because it’s not merely an activity; it’s an opportunity for your child to discover and affirm who they truly are. From the moment they step into the magical classroom, they are invited to delight in being themselves. This leads to a deeper understanding, strengthening their connection with you and providing visible proof through artwork that their individuality is celebrated and belongs. Perfect for parents who value seeing their child confident, curious, and alive.

Tell me what happens during the experience – will my child make potions and spells?

This transformational experience goes far beyond just imagining! It’s an immersive journey where your child takes centre stage in their own wizarding story. We believe in inviting children to express themselves fully, and that means experiencing the magic first-hand through character, story, and play.

During their time with us, your child will concoct and taste real potions, learn to levitate feathers with a swish and flick of their wand, and cast spells. They’ll also delight in wizard beer, our special wizard cookies, and brave a taste of every flavour beans. This experience culminates in a beautiful photograph of them in character to take home on the day, a tangible reminder of their magical adventure. It’s perfect for children who light up at the thought of stepping into a world where their imagination comes alive and their individuality shines.
