New Harry Potter attraction launched in iconic Scots movie location
Scroll down for times and tickets THAT'S MAGIC New Harry Potter attraction launched in iconic Scots movie location Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NEW Harry Potter attraction is launching in Scotland this summer. Fans of the book series and movie franchise have long flocked to the north to visit locations featured in the flicks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The Scottish landmark was used in four films 5 Harry Potter and his pals travelled on the train to Hogwarts over the viaduct 5 Now bus no. 9 ¾ will take visitors to the village 5 Scots schoolboy Dominic McLaughlin plays Harry Potter in the new HBO series Credit: HBO Glenfinnan Viaduct has been one of the favourites, as the Hogwarts Express travelled across the famous bridge in four of the films. Now a new weekend bus service is being introduced to encourage more of the 600,000 annual visitors to Glenfinnan to leave their cars behind and travel a little more magically. And the bus line has a name inspired by the books, being called no. 9 ¾ - or 934. This is in a nod to Platform 9¾, the magical place Harry and his pals caught the Hogwarts Express when heading for school. According to those behind the bus journey, the service offers a 'spellbinding alternative to driving' with comfy seats and scenic views. The new timetable is part of a community-led effort aimed at helping plug a gap in public transport provision to the tiny village on the shores of Loch Shiel in Lochaber on Saturdays and Sundays. It's a pilot scheme to gauge public appetite for a motor-free day out and help relieve pressure on local car parks, which quickly fill up at this time of year, leading to hazardous kerbside parking and traffic congestion along the famous road to the Isles. The National Trust for Scotland (NTS), Glenfinnan Community Council, Glenfinnan Community Facilities Charitable Trust (SCIO), Glenfinnan Station Museum and HITRANS have each contributed to the cost of the buses. Local authority councillors have also backed the project by supporting an application to The Highland Council's Discretionary Budget, while local bus company, Shiel Buses, will operate the service. Glenfinnan businesses are also offering 'green rewards' as a thank you to those visitors who show them a valid bus or train ticket. Harry Potter legend breaks his silence as replacement cast in HBO TV series These include the NTS Visitor Centre offering a complimentary hot drink, and two-for-one on climbing Glenfinnan Monument, along with a range of other discounts. Kate Forbes MSP commented: "Glenfinnan has become an iconic destination for visitors, with thousands of visitors every year. This has created pressures on local infrastructure, which I have been working to resolve with local residents. 'A few years ago, the community successfully built a much larger car park. However, this has quickly become too small. As such, I have been chairing a task force to identify solutions over the last few years. HOW TO GET THERE THE summer weekend bus service will run four times a day at the weekends, between Fort William and Glenfinnan, from now until September 7. It is just one of many train and bus services that travel to Glenfinnan seven days a week. Visitors will be able to get on the Glenfinnan weekend bus at Fort William bus station, Lochaber High School (free parking available at weekends), Kilmallie Hall in Corpach and Linnhe Caravan Park. Times for the new service, along with timetables and prices for all other buses and trains, can be found in the 'Guide to visiting Glenfinnan without a Car.' This can be viewed and downloaded from 'I am delighted to see a new solution to get more people out of their cars. This will hopefully be transformational, as more visitors choose to share transport. 'I am enormously grateful to all the key stakeholders – The Highland Council, HITRANS, Shiel Buses, National Trust for Scotland and every local resident that has been helping drive this forward.'

Popular UK seaside town to run bizarre Christmas event in AUGUST – with Santa Express and panto dame
XMAS COME EARLY Popular UK seaside town to run bizarre Christmas event in AUGUST – with Santa Express and panto dame A BUSTLING seaside town will be running a Christmas-themed event... this August. 'Bridmas' in the town of Bridlington, East Yorkshire, is hosting a quirky celebration with elves and even Santa himself. 4 Each year the town of Bridlington has a Christmas-themed event Credit: East Riding Council 4 The event will be across various venues and include a Santa land train Credit: Alamy 4 The event aims to show that Bridlington is more than just a summer destination Credit: Alamy There will also be a range of Christmas crafts, food, live music and a panto dame. The event will be spread across different venues in the town including Bridlington Spa and Sewerby Hall and Gardens. What's more - the event is only on for one day. Essentially, 'Bridmas' aims to showcase the town as having much more to offer than being just a great summer holiday destination. Throughout the day, families can watch the Christmas film Home Alone, experience a 'Santa Express' land train and take part in festive-themed beach games. There will be a meet-and-greet with Father Christmas himself, and The Grinch too. Actor Joe Standerline will also make an appearance as Dick Whittington. The 'Santa Express' will have everything you would expect of a festive train ride to see Santa. On 'Bridmas', Noel - the driver - will check who is on the 'nice list' before taking them to the North Pole. For a spot of early gift shopping there will be a Christmas-themed daytime market and later a food festival in the evening. I visited the 'secret' European ski resort that Brits often overlook with empty slopes and perfect snow An ice sculpture will even be there too... providing it doesn't get too warm and turn into a puddle. Over at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, families can enjoy spectacular views whilst tucking into festive treats. The venue will also be hosting a magic show as well as face painting. Then over at East Riding Leisure Centre there will be a festive soft play area for little ones. If things couldn't get more bizarre, down on the seafront families will also be able to get up close and investigate road gritters used each winter. The event is organised by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and will take place on August 6, 2025. TUI launches 'extreme day trips' to Lapland TUI has launched a new 'extreme day trip' to Lapland for winter 2026, from 11 airports. The 'Search for Santa' day trip will see families fly to Kittila, with a traditional cooked English breakfast served to you on the flight. After landing at midday, you'll grab your snowsuit and boots before heading to the Snow Village. At the Snow Village you will be able to see an ice hotel with igloo-inspired rooms, an ice bar, ice chapel and numerous ice sculptures. Families will then hop onto a sleigh ride led by Rudolph. After this, you'll head off on another animal-based adventure with a husky-led sleigh ride. And if those rides weren't enough, you'll then be able to explore the snow wonderland more by learning to drive your own snowmobile. Then the big moment of the day arrives with a magical journey through a snow-covered woodland to meet Santa. At the end of your 'extreme day trip', you will then be delivered back to the airport by Santa's elves and once airbourne, you will have a Christmas dinner in the sky as you fly home. Here are some festive family day trips for Christmas. Plus, the best winter sun destinations that are less than six hours from the UK.

Pete Wicks says ‘I can't do it' as Sam Thompson addresses ‘girlfriend rumours'
Former Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson has spoken-out after reports he has started dating against just weeks after he split from former Love Island star Samie Eilishi Former Strictly Come Dancing star Pete Wicks admitted 'I just can't do it' as best friend Sam Thompson addressed 'rumours' that he has a new girlfriend. It came after a social media post from Love Island contestant Helena Ford emerged on X. Helena, who was coupled-up with Harry, posted a racy tweet about the former Made in Chelsea star in 2017. Recent reports however have suggested that Sam has begun dating a new girl. Earlier this year he had been linked to former Love Island star Samie Elishi, but the pair are said to have split a couple of weeks ago. The Daily Mail claims Sam, 32, has recently been dating holistic nutritionist Steph Robinson. It prompted Sam to joke that he couldn't follow through with Helena's racy message. Speaking to Pete on their Staying Relevant podcast, he said: 'I couldn't do that anyway because apparently I have a girlfriend now as of yesterday's press articles.' Pete however urged Sam to 'leave it out'. He said: 'Do you really want to cover this one again? Because I'm going to be honest with you Sam, this podcast was meant to be about you and I but what it is is just your right to reply every week for the new person that you're dating. 'It's incredible, it is utterly, utterly incredible. I think we leave this one out and hope it goes away. I cannot go through another, 'We're just friends and I'm not dating at the minute', and then hearing about you going on four dates at the weekend. 'I can't do it anymore, I honestly can't do it. It's just utterly mental.' According to the MailOnline, Sam has grown close to Steph, who boasts 170,000 followers on TikTok. She is said to offer expert tips on wellness, gut health and nutrition. Sam is said to have declared he is 'not ready' to start dating again after his split from Samie. In a previous podcast episode, he said: "I'm going to work on myself. No dating, I'm not ready and I've realised that." He said his sister Louise hopes he would date someone like Harry Potter star Emma Watson. He added: 'Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter." Pete joked: "I think you have more chance with the ginger fella." Sam then added: "Ron! No, Louise thinks I should go for British thespian because she thinks its a little different, classy is the wrong word, but well to do." Sam had been in a long-term relationship with former Love Island contestant Zara McDermott, but the pair split last year. Zara has since gone public with her new boyfriend, former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson. Sam has recently undergone a lifestyle overhaul, taking up fitness and getting a new haircut. Speaking to the MaiOnline, he said: 'Do you know what's funny? I sometimes and think, 'how s*** did I look?' "And it's true, because I remember, and I don't mind this going anywhere, I remember looking in the mirror and going, 'Damn it man, you've got to do something about yourself.' 'So I just went to the gym a little bit, sort of like started buying some clothes had a haircut, and then you're like, 'God, I feel so great'. I really, really do. I feel awesome, I'm so happy, which is so nice."
