The Bermuda Department of Tourism, in conjunction  with 36 of the island’s top restaurants, will offer its second annual Restaurant Week from January 21 – February 16, 2013. Visitors and locals alike can get so much more out of a dining experience during this island-wide event with pre-fixe dinners at $29, $39 or $49 per person depending on the participating restaurant (excluding beverages, tax and gratuity).  Wine parings will also be offered at $29, $39 or $49 per bottle, plus gratuities.

With five more restaurants participating than there were in 2012, Bermuda’s 2013 Restaurant Week will offer a variety of dining experiences from simple and traditional to elegant and special dining, including Bermudian cuisines and international dishes.

“Bermuda’s reputation as a culinary destination has grown since last year’s inaugural Restaurant Week, as it created a heightened awareness of the island’s premier dining options among travelers and locals,” said William Griffith, Director of Tourism. “We are excited that our Bermudian and  international chefs will have another opportunity to showcase their luxury travel dining and outstanding cuisine for all to enjoy.”


 

This February, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter will invite visitors to delve into the world of wand making, spell casting and wizarding duels. Special effects and choreography experts from the Harry Potter film series will be involved in creating the activities for Wand Week.

Visitors will discover first-hand how fight scenes were developed and the incredible amount of planning that went into each wand movement. Original moulds, concept art and wand designs will be showcased in the attraction and, for the first time, Mr Ollivander’s costume will be on display at the entrance of his famous wand shop. The Studio Tour’s knowledgeable staff members will be on hand to share behind-the-scenes secrets and to teach the wand moves seen in the films.

Wand Week will take place from Saturday 16th to Sunday 24th February.
