"Anything off the trolley dears?" An enchanting Harry Potter-inspired train ride is happening near Toronto and you'll feel like you're on board the Hogwarts Express.

York-Durham Heritage Railway is hosting a Hallows Express Wizards Sunset Tea & Train Ride this fall and it will whisk you away to the Wizarding World. The train ride is taking place on October 21, 2023 and it's a magical Halloween adventure.

Located in Uxbridge, the event features a "magical tea" complete with "delectable non-muggle treats and enchanting beverages" on board a train. You can enjoy spectacular sunset views as you sip potions and treats fit for a Hogwarts feast. There will even be boozy Butterbeer on board that will transport you to The Three Broomsticks.
