They’ll need to put their creative hat on to enter

To enter your child into this competition, you will need to send us a photo of artwork they have created inspired by the theme of ‘Back to Hogwarts’.

We are open to any medium of artwork – whether that’s drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, photography or anything that inspires their creativity.

What are we looking for?

Originality

We want to see entrants putting their own spin on the Back to Hogwarts theme!

Connection

Why is Back to Hogwarts so special? How does it resonate with your child?

An important note, you will also need to include the name of the child being entered, their date of birth, postal address, the telephone contact details of the parent entering on behalf of the child, dietary and access requirements of the child and family who will attend the ‘Welcome Feast’, and the child must be based in the UK & Northern Ireland.

Now for the technical bits: the photo of the artwork must not be bigger than 10MB, and should be either in JPEG or PDF format. Please attach and send your photos to [email protected]. Unfortunately, we won’t be accepting any owls carrying photos, in case you were wondering!

Please note that entries will close at 11.59pm BST on Tuesday 6th August 2024.

More about the ‘Welcome Feast’

At the Back to Hogwarts-themed evening, you will enjoy refreshments on arrival before moving through to the magnificent Great Hall. Here, you will get the unique opportunity to dine like a Hogwarts student as you tuck into a special dinner reminiscent of the Philosopher’s Stone’s start-of-term feast – served family-style. Then, experience the Studio Tour at your leisure, with the chance to marvel at the sets and look out for more surprises.


So that’s it! And if we could give you some Felix Felicis for a bit of extra luck, we would.
