How to get cheap Harry Potter Studio tour tickets, including travel and hotel bundles
Get yourself back to Hogwarts for less this winter with a cheap ticket to The Making of Harry Potter studios.
We all wish we could wave a wand that magically makes everything cheaper, but sadly there are no shortcuts or reducio spells in the real world. When the period between paydays is so long and the cost of a fun day out is so high, you’ve often got to be picky about which experiences you choose to do.
But here at RadioTimes.com, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice those important memory-making moments just because of the cost, so we’re constantly trying to find you those affordable solutions.
In the past, we’ve covered everything from how to get cheap theatre tickets to how to get cheap tickets to Chessington World of Adventures. Now, we’re apparating into the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter.
The Making of Harry Potter studio tour in Leavesden remains – despite opening over a decade ago – a hugely successful sell-out event. Because of this, the cost of entry has remained high, with tickets starting at £53.50.
We know how quickly ticket costs can add up, especially if you’re taking family. When you factor in travel, hotel stays, and the inevitable butter beer expenses, you’re looking at a pretty big pile of galleons.
