The Potions Cauldron: what do users think?
Liam Boagey: After sales was terrible, we couldn’t attend due to our sons disability and yorks no parking ban over the bank holiday, he was gutted bless him. He was unable to walk for the mile or so to reach the venue. This was why we brought him to York to visit this place. Messaged the potions cauldron and not a acknowledgement in return. Ok taking the money. I wouldn’t bother again.
Casandra Fanea: So much fun visiting York.This place was so lovely and fun. Lovely staff and cool things to see. Definitely recommend popping in
gerry denham: great drinks and friendly service
Julia Parker: I would strongly suggest that the company add some level of carbonation to their drinks. Everything that I ordered arrived flat. The lack of any sugar means that the drinks just leave that stagnant ‘off’ sweet taste in your mouth. If you want the Potion Cauldron experience at home for a fraction of the price just buy a can of Coke Zero, open it and wait for it to go flat. Was sadly a waste of my money and won’t be buying them again in a hurry.
My Account: Placed an order online for a large selection of drinks.I would describe each and every one of them as tasting like a flat version of their Tesco equivalent. All this place has going for it is the gimmick from a product standpoint.It seems that the positive reviews stem from actually visiting the shop, however from an online-only perspective then I would suggest you avoid ordering and spend your money elsewhere.
Filipe: A rather poor and disappointing experience. A quick introduction by a “host”, left in a room for 20m with some rather not funny pre recorded talking “pictures”, the potion making is nothing more than pouring some squash in an ice cup and then throw in a packet of Wizz Fizz and off you go!A sickeningly sweet slushie after enduring 25m of a bad performance/video is what you get out of this experience!Keep away and save your pennies for something else! Any notion of a “magical” experience is pure coincidence…
Joana Vicente: Did not enjoy the experience. Expensive slushy, sickening sweet and you sit for 15 minutes watching a bad film. In the end you're not allowed to bring the cauldron cup home witch is the only thing mildly interesting about it all. Not even the kids liked it.
Damian Hill: The three of us (with a child who’s 13) visited here earlier for the potion experience. It was ok but really aimed towards very young children, probably no older than 5 or 6.
Hayley: Had so much fun visiting this shop!The drinks are really great and the employees make the experience the most fun. Bought two of the alcoholic drinks and got told some cool stories about the Shambles from Finney. 10/10, will come again!
Alessandro Rotondo: Great experience with the Bossman Wizard, I just recommend the owners to do more magic things
Judyta Kuriata: Great place, great vibes, love the sparkly drinks (tho may be a bit too heavy on the alcohol for me)
Kristian Butler: Amazing customer service, one bottle arrive broken so they sent me an entire new set for free 🙂
Divya: To all harry potter fans. lovely street and lovely store .
Abbie Ainsley: Butterbeer was amazing
Wei Herr Ooi: Went in but had 4 other people in front of the ordering counter, just having a quick chat amongst themselves. Staff were just listening in and laughed at the customers jokes while leaving us standing close to the entrance, not being able to access the counter to order the butter beer. Left the vicinity disappointed.
Laura Rothwell: Great little place, my 4 nearly 5 year old daughter absolutely loved making a 'potion' here 😊 adults have a choice to add 'poison' to there's as well 😊
emarli: My boyfriend and I had a lovely time! We did the alcoholic potion making experience and our alchemist Kai was brilliant. Cocktails were tasty and strong 😄 would definitely recommend!
Natalie G: Save your money and head straight to the golf. It's the same yukky drink but you have so much more fun. Our alchemist spoke too fast, didn't check we had allergies before hand and, admitted he had missed out the potion making steps!2 stars only because the ice cube is fun, however mine was broken.
Antony Powell: Booked the potion experience today with our grandson. When we dropped him off at his mum and dad's he's was still convinced he was invisible. Great time and great people. May go back on our own to try it with "poison"
Sarah Hunt: So lovely, had so much fun! Went for potion experience with a friend, the staff really Went the extra mile to make it fun! Great quality for alcohol ane Lee and Sam were stars 🌟
Blank__Mind: A wonderful laugh was had when my friends and I arrived a little later than we should have - only a few minutes before closing. With wonderful splendor, we were given amazing service and bright smiles. This shop is an amazing must-see for anyone in the area, Harry Potter fan or no

Travelling Man: what do users think?
Ian Wildon: I spoke to a lady there on Friday then visited on Saturday with my son its absolutely brilliant we both loved it. extremely helpful and friendly staff and to top it off we won a giant comic book, thanks so much
Matt M: Staff are obviously passionate about hoped games and this comes through when talking to them.Super helpful, knowledgeable and seem to enjoy their Job.The shop has a wide selection of games ranging from entry level to the hobby and going as far as you'd like to go.
Guy Brown: Good selection and friendly staff.
Alain Salesse: Supremely knowledgeable staff who made us a great board game recommendation that we really enjoy (Viticulture in case you're wondering)
andrew england: Super helpful chap at the counter, I think I've found my new favourite hobby shop
Amanda Vobes: Great choice and friendly staff who have good knowledge.
Yvonne Bissett: Great staff and venue. I visited as part of a pop-up maid cafe and we were made very welcome by all there. Hope to be back next year!
Kyz S: Lovely game store with lovely staff. Things are well priced in there and they have an amazing selection. The staff are really kind and also really knowledgeable and ready to help!
Oliver Taylor: The staff are very friendly. They have a huge range of different comic books, ttrpgs, and board games. They have recently opened a large warhammer section upstairs, which is a god sent since some things are actually cheaper than games workshop. I wish they had a larger selection of card games like Vampire the eternal struggle, but not enough to reduce the rating.
Miss Metal Head: Great service
Mark Chapman: Great shop
Rowan Barber: lovely vibe, even lovelier patient, knowledgeable, passionate staff, really appreciate the pronoun badges + inclusiveness! made me feel really safe both as a queer person and a new dabbler in certain games ☺️
lawrence shaw: Far too narrow and cramped. Impossible to browse properly and probably the most expensive comic book store I've ever been in
Steve Jones: Great selection of games, comics and manga. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Definitely on my list to revisit next time I'm in York
Hayley Grayson: When visiting a new city, we always check for board game shops/cafés as game enthusiasts! The travelling man did not disappoint and the range of games available was vast. The price point of the games was average, although there was a sale on when we visited, so there is a chance you could get a bargain. The shop is small and a little cramped in parts and may be difficult if you have limited mobility. Hence the 4 stars. Nice range of LGBTQ+ items and books as an added bonus. It's a shame there isn't a coffee shop, game café aspect, although I believe you are able to sit upstairs and play your newly purchased games.
Darren Hodgkinson: Popping into Travelling Man is a highlight of every trip into the city for me! They have a superb selection of comics, new and back issues. A crazy collection of manga you've never heard of. With a dazzling display of board games with boxes the size of a postcard through to boxes the size of the postvan! They've even found room for tabletop RPGs and trading cards somehow!The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable too. They greet newcomers and regulars with the same smile and great attitude.I've not used the room upstairs but it's great to have a dedicated space for nerds to be nerds!#SupportYourFLGS
Rudie Humphrey: I like adult graphic novels, there is a small selection of very common titles amongst the nerdy role playing geekery and normal Manga/Marvel/DC fluff.
Andrew Graham: There is something for everyone. Great selection, staff super friendly. Nice and warm shop, good vibes.
allan claydon: Amazing shop! I've ordered from here a few times online so decided to swing in and I was blown away by the sheer range of products a must visit site for any fans of graphic novels and manga, superb range of 40k models, boardgames, and RPGs too!I was surprised the MTG section wasn't larger as this is typically what I've ordered online but still managed to spend hours browsing through the store
Tag 1503: More manga then I've ever seen in one place!
Tim Ashurst: Great place

Valerie Wallis: Great friendly shop would definitely recommend.
Kathryn Taylor: The customer service was amazing, the owner was so helpful and friendly and went out of his way to help me and my friend who were looking for 90's gear for a New Year 90's party. He really looked after us and I would 100% return again.

Kym Done: Great shop, very friendly and helpful staff.🙂😘🙂
Simon Gogerly: Friendly service, and inexpensive fancy dress items.
Jodie Hull: Recently bought a officially licensed ghostface mask and it came super quick! Bought it on Friday and it was here Sunday. It even came with a hand written note on the bottom saying "thank you very much for your order, I hope you have a scream this halloween!" Absolutely adored the mask and the message written made me love it more. The mask was such a good price too compared to all separate sellers selling the same mask for about £50! I recommend this ship in person and online! Shipping is just as fast as going to the shop in person anyway :))) Thank you guys, I will definitely be purchasing again
Yvette Pearson: Friendliest people ever, delighted with excellent service!Our item was out of stock but Juliette very helpfully ordered and posted to us. Highly recommended shop!!
April C: After attempting to order similar gloves off amazon back in february and waiting weeks to be told they couldnt be sent i made an online order from festival of fun... It was only for a pair of black lace gloves. (They were actually to complete the requested funeral outfit for a family member who had passed away) The items arrived within 48hours from ordering. Enclosed was a little hand written note on the bottom of the invoice. It Was a lovely touch and gave me a smile at such a difficult time (especially given the circumstances of the order) Thank you juliette 5* customer service
Leah O'Cuinneagain: This shop is a York gem. If you need to buy any kind of fancy dress, please support this local business before you shop online! It's packed full of products of all types, the variety that they have is honestly impressive. Due to the small size of the store, it can get very busy around Halloween and before New Year- so it's best to shop ahead if you can.
Georgina Keetley: Wonderful staff, really helpful and knowledgeable
Janette Eaton: This is a great place to get all your fancy dress needs for adults. They have everything from costumes, wigs, make up and accessories. For all your fancy dress needs.
