If you’re after a unique and exciting Halloween activity this year, be it with friends or a partner, the Halloween ‘potion-making’ experience at The Cauldron in Brighton is the perfect option. They offer a 1 hour 45 minute fully immersive cocktail-making experience, which is reasonably priced at £33.99 for adults and £30.59 for students and includes three drinks overall and the use of their impressive and novel cocktail-making equipment that you’ll surely be talking about for weeks to come. This is a must-do during the spooky season and beyond!
The Venue
Tucked away just off the bustling Western Road in Brighton, stepping into The Cauldron feels as though you’ve walked into another world. Adorned with colourful fairy lights, fake ivy, and other decorations that wouldn’t seem out of place in any fantasy world, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that you’re still in the middle of a city.
The cosy and whimsical ambience of the bar is just as much part of the experience as the actual drink making, and the dragon heads mounted on the walls that pour your welcome drinks achieve the real sense of magic that The Cauldron is aiming to cultivate.
The Experience
During your potion-making experience, you’ll be looked after and guided by a member of The Cauldron’s fantastic team, who work hard to maintain the magical energy of the experience and truly do make you feel like you’re in a magical world. They are friendly, attentive, and very talented, staying in character as your ‘potion master’ and keeping the experience feeling utterly authentic and special.
During spooky season they have a limited edition Halloween Potion-making experience which includes a welcome drink poured from the magical creatures’ head and 2 molecular cocktails (with a set of instructions) that you get to create yourself at your magical station.
Final Thoughts
The potion-making itself was nothing short of incredible. The equipment issued for the cocktail-making was phenomenal, including a cauldron, a magic wand that really worked (much to our delight) and a number of other surprises that I won’t spoil, but made the experience completely unique and utterly fantastic. Potion making at The Cauldron was, in a word, magical, and a brilliant activity for anyone looking for a Halloween experience with a difference.
