We all know that there’s nothing quite as magic as a little break from your everyday – but one UK holiday spot is giving things a little extra dose of magic.
The North Shire farm is home to charming accommodation options, including a replica hut that will look pretty familiar to Harry Potter fans.
The Saltburn-by-the-Sea destination has created its very own version of Hagrid’s Groundskeeper Cottage from the hit film and book franchise, The Hoot reports.
The cottage comprises of three interlocking circular rooms with medieval-style turrets, mismatching stained-glass windows and lanterns galore as every painstaking detail has been added to make you feel as if you’re part of the Harry Potter movie set.
Best of all, this two bedroom replica of Hagrid’s Hut has space for all the family, sleeping six, ideally up to four adults and two children.

Inside, wizarding wannabes and muggles will find an overwhelming gothic demeanor that nods to favorite wizarding tales, not just through the furnishings but the fields that lead to views of the Yorkshire coast too.
All the modern comforts are available to make your staycation a true experience. Inside the kitchen, a combi oven, kettle, toaster, fridge and all the utensils needed are provided for guests to use at their leisure, whilst the bathroom compromises of a truly authentic Diagon Alley experience.

Floor-to-ceiling emerald green tiles lead to an incredible copper standalone bathtub, that looks like it has been transported straight from a wizard’s home.
Complete with sink, toilet and shower, the circular turret style of the rooms create a movie-like atmosphere and allow you to truly immerse yourself in the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
As a popular destination for any Potter fan, this Hagrid’s Hut staycation is booking up for the 2022 season quickly.
In order to ensure that you can live out the rest of your muggle days in peace before you take a trip to Platform 9 3/4, book your staycation on the North Shire website.
Two nights of Noah Kahan at AO Arena, Manchester – tickets, times, and more for 2026 tour
Lydia Mastrolonardo
Noah Kahan isn’t just gracing Mancunians with his presence once this autumn, we’re lucky enough to host him for two nights of his world tour.
The two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter is heading back to the UK for his biggest tour to date, two years after his last appearance in our city when he played to a packed-out Co-op Live.
Noah Kahan has taken the world by storm in recent years following the release of his acclaimed third album in 2022, Stick Season, which sat in the UK album chart for three years. He has almost 15 billion global streams, sold nearly 12 million albums, and earned 22 Platinum and Gold certifications to date – he’s not doing half bad, is he?
This tour is in support of his fourth studio album, The Great Divide, which is said to build on Kahan’s signature storytelling, encapsulating his thoughts on grappling with success, identity, family, distance, and unspoken truths.
Not only does Kahan provide us with the best music to cry it all out to, he also founded a mental health non-profit, The Busyhead Project, which has raised over $13 million in support of its mission to increase awareness around the importance of mental health.
Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know.

Manchester Christmas Markets 2026 – prices for beer, mulled wine, bratwurst, and more
Emily Sergeant
It’s timeeeeee… Manchester Christmas Markets are officially open for 2026.
Now in their 27th year, Manchester Christmas Markets are known and loved for bringing thousands of people into the city centre each year to fill up on the fantastic festive treats and soak up all the Christmas atmosphere.
This year sees an even bigger return of Albert Square, and there’s also some new locations too for 2026. Lincoln Square has joined in on the action, and there’s also some big changes to St Ann’s Square – with what is being described as a ‘brand new layout’, bringing in a bigger number of market stalls.
There’s a total of 210 stalls spread out across the city centre, but we know there’s one question on everyone’s lips… ‘what’s it gonna cost me?’.
We’ve been running around the markets this morning checking out all the prices on things like beer, mulled wine, bratwurst, and more, so without further ado, here’s everything you need to know.
