Where to find the times for your day
On the official opening times page, it is the calendar that shows the day you choose: the site gives no opening hour to copy down. Check it before you fix a flight, a hotel or another timed visit.
Tickets are on sale until 31 December 2027, according to the official site.
Seasons and announced events
The official site announces Hogwarts in the Snow from 14 November 2026 to 17 January 2027, Hogwarts House Spirit from 23 January to 19 April 2027, Summer Feature from 13 May to 6 September 2027 and Dark Arts from 24 September to 7 November 2027.

Choosing a slot without getting it wrong
You enter during the 30-minute window printed on your ticket, not at an exact time. For the Civitatis bus excursion, the departure from London also sets the return time: keep the day free, with no other appointment in the evening.
The excursion listing gives 6 h 20 – 7 h 30, bus journey included.
