NOX at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: Dark Arts Halloween 2026

NOX at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London during the Dark Arts Halloween event 2026

NOX at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London returns for Halloween 2026 with three after-hours nights dedicated to the darker side of the wizarding world, running on 29, 30 and 31 October 2026.

I’ve visited Warner Bros. Studio Tour London three times already, including during seasonal events, so this guide focuses on what is different about NOX in 2026 and the practical details worth planning before you book.

Latest Update

28 August 2026: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is currently listing NOX for 29–31 October 2026. Tickets are on sale now, with the official event page confirming the £150 ticket price, after-hours Dark Arts access and the full set of included treats and extras.

Overview

NOX is a special after-hours event at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. Guests explore the Studio Tour after dark while the Dark Arts feature is in full swing, with Halloween styling, live Death Eater encounters and additional treats included in the event ticket.

The 2026 event ticket includes after-hours admission during Dark Arts, one misting cocktail or mocktail in the Great Hall, one piece of confectionery at each trick-or-treat station and a souvenir digital photograph. Additional drinks can be purchased during the evening.

Clarissa’s Review

I’ve visited the Studio Tour several times, but I haven’t attended NOX yet. The late-night setting is the part that stands out most to me. If I attend, this guide will stay practical and I’ll link to a separate review covering atmosphere, queues, food and drink, interactions and whether the premium ticket price feels worth it.


Tickets & Booking

Tickets are listed at £150 per person. Booking is essential because this is a limited-capacity after-hours event, and the official ticket store can close sales once availability changes.
