A NEW wizard-themed attraction has been launched in York city centre - underneath a bar.

Wizards’ Emporium is an escape room which has just opened in the basement of Rehab Piccadilly.

Vicky Lu-Evans and her husband Simon opened the bar in September last year, and the escape room was always part of their plans.

York Press:

"It's pretty spectacular," Vicky said. "It's all bespoke."

The family-friendly attraction has been created by puzzle experts and technicians.

"It's amazing what they have done," Vicky added.

York Press:

The attraction has two rooms, and a number of trials await those who take part.

Among the fun challenges is mixing potions using a wand.

The experience is expected to take about 45 minutes to complete and is for a maximum of five people.

Vicky hopes it will attract and appeal to both local residents and tourists.

If the attraction is a success, Vicky and Simon hope to open another Viking-themed escape room in the future.

All bookings must include one adult (18+) and a minimum of two people.
