It took quite some convincing to coax the girls out of the play areas into the Big Top tent to have a go at potion making. But once there, they loved mixing the coloured waters into little glass vials and adding glitter . For older kids there are also games including witch’s hat hoopla and mini pumpkin tic tac toe.
