About us

Merlin's Magic Wand provides magical experiences at Merlin attractions. We aim to give children who are seriously ill, disabled or disadvantaged the opportunity to enjoy attractions that they may otherwise not have been able to.

Since being established in 2008, Merlin’s Magic Wand has made over 110,000 children and their families smile, a figure that is growing daily. We have helped families to create happy memories of magical days out.
