Review of Clifton Observatory Bonfire Night Party

Incredible event in an incredible venue. Staff were lovely and I really enjoyed the special touch of them handing out lots of sparklers to everyone! Fire performer was really cool too. Definitely want to go again!

Review of Bristol Balloon Fiesta Ascent Viewing

No ballon’s went up so slightly disappointed but I realise there’s nothing that you can do about the weather

Review of Bristol Balloon Fiesta Ascent Viewing

Didn’t get welcome drinks, tickets were not checked and was not very informative

Review of Clifton Observatory Sunset Party

Photos on website and ticket sale structured by 1st 2nd 3rd releases led to believe it was a proper party, quasi festival. Turns out it seemed like an improvised pub party, food stand was nothing by a guy doing hamburgers on a grill, attractions was a lady with playing hola hoops, the bar was short of glasses… not even than 100ppl attended the party so why the ticket release structure? Shabby and improvised.

Review of Clifton Observatory Sunset Party

Absolutely LOVE this venue and the event was beautiful- the DJs were spot on.

The only flaw is not enough toilet facilities for events (one toilet only led to long queues sadly)

Amazing evening, can’t wait for next year

Had a great time but the lack of toilets is very disappointing

Review of Clifton Observatory Winter Wonderland Party (18+)

Beautiful views from the roof terrace of clifton observatory - but freezing in December for an evening event! Was fun, music not my vibe though.

Great night. Good DJ and entertainment.

Review of Clifton Observatory - Santas Grotto

What a total disaster this event was. Awful experience for me and my family and will never book again or through skiddle absolutely shocking. We left in the end. We didn’t even get to go into the grotto or have mulled wine or hot chocolates or even the arts and crafts. We left very disappointed after paying £57. I will also never be recommending to anyone ever again this event or future events.

Review of Clifton Observatory - Santas Grotto

Poorly organised and massively oversold. Was a chaotic crush.

Review of Clifton Observatory - Santas Grotto

It was so over crowded that it was dangerous at times. No staff managing the crowd which made the whole experience unpleasant. We didn't get to see santa as the venue was just unsafe so we left along with other families.
