Here’s where you’ll find our secret Magical Courtyards:
Magical Retreats
While the Magical Courtyards are open to the public, the exclusive Magical Retreats can only be visited by reservation. The festively staged pop-up locations provide the ideal setting for unforgettable Christmas experiences, whether for private celebrations, small teams or cosy evenings with friends.
The locations of the Magical Retreats are also still top secret and will be announced in mid-November.
