Visiting the Magic Circle HQ

Postby TheStoner » Jun 8th, '09, 15:16



I've had a look at their website(s) and it says lots about booking private parties and corporate events. But what if you're in London for the day and got a couple of hours to kill - can you just walk in and have a look round? Or is that reserved for members only?

You're not able to walk in and look around unfortunately. However, I think that the headquarters would become a significant tourist attraction if that were the case.

Unless there's a function booked then the headquarters is only open to members on a Monday afternoon and evening so most of the time there isn't anyone there.

I'm sure that if you wanted to visit then there are a number of members here on TM that would be prepared to sign you in as a guest.

Theres a Meet The Magic Circle eveing twice a month I think - your ticket gets you a close up show, a theatre show and a bite to eat if I remember correctly.


I dont forsee getting down to HQ particularly often but if Im there Id be happy to sign you in.

Dave - it would be nice to bump into you when I get there! Ill let you know when im planning on going!

I'm planning to visit in September when Michael Vincent is performing (I am already taking a guest by the way).

They do open up for certain special occasions and arranged tours, I remember going on a tour there when I was in the cubs. Oh how I wish I could go and do that again now.
