Welcome to Magnitown
A colourful place where every new friend belongs.
Inspired by Howard’s home in Halifax and the beauty of Calderdale, Magnitown brings grand architecture, green hills and a bright rainbow into Marvin’s storybook world.
Look across the town from the overlook, then follow the cobbled streets to find new friends and little acts of kindness.
