We're looking beyond the theme parks, for even more great days out in the UK, so we recently visited Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter.

All eight of the Harry Potter movies were filmed at Leavesden Studios near Watford, a former aerodrome and factory that was converted into film studios and is still fully functioning today, with many blockbuster movies shot here every year. It's easily reached by car from the M25 and shuttle buses run from Watford Junction, which is a 20 minute train journey from London Euston. Admission is pre-book only, and demand is high, so make sure you plan in advance. It's an all-weather attraction, suitable rain or shine. 

This Halloween, Dreamland Margate, the UK’s original pleasure park transforms into a world of nightmares as it launches its first ever, major scare festival Screamland.

Dreamland Margate is working with AtmosFear! Scare Entertainment, winners of multiple awards, including the only European attraction to win Excellence in Design award in 2013, to produce an actor lead, theatrical festival of fear.

A brand new Kong ride has opened at West Midland Safari & Leisure Park.

The Zamperla Mega Disk'O ride joins other attractions including the Rhino Rollercoaster, Twister Coaster, Venom Tower Drop, Wild River Rafting, Pirate Ship, Black Fly and Zambezi Water Splash.
