ALL aboard! Next stop Hogwarts.

A magical wizarding express is steaming its way into Bury this summer with plenty of room for little witches and wizards.

On the trip there may be a few hiccups along the way with the headmaster in a muddle and some important magical items going missing, its going to take every spell available to sort it out.

The two hour witchy experience departs from Platform 3/4 at Bury Bolton Street Station, where refreshments will be available, but you may have to bring your own pumpkin juice and fizzing whizzbees.

It includes a return trip to Rawtenstall during which costumed characters including super sorcerers and wicked witches will entertain.

Have your wands at the ready for a variety of magical activities and bring your camera for the photo opportunities.
