Absolute rubbish, glad we didn’t pay

Review of Astley Illuminated

Absolutely awful not illuminated no light show or music which is what I expected. It was a modern dance. Not a family event at all

Review of Astley Illuminated

Poor sound, the performance wasn't great, food and hot drink stalls were lacking. Reviews from previous years are good hence why we got tickets. This year.... rubbish!

Review of Astley Illuminated

This year It wasn't as good as it normally is, the dancers came out of the hall and danced for a bit in front of the hall, then they went onto the grass area to the furthest point away from most of the crowd and did 2 performances there. I asked a couple of the team before the event where they would be performing as my husband was on a mobility scooter so we couldn't be moving around, we ended up seeing the backs of the performers.

Review of Astley Illuminated

Compared to previous illuminated events the performance and lighting was ok but not as impacting and colorfully lit, it was more like a show with druids and just lots of smoke and the sound was very poor you couldn't hear anything. It was great to see all the crowds and a fabulous turn out for the Hall which is looking magnificent, it was very difficult to see any of the performers too, so a lot of people decided to move away as they couldn't see. The organisers and stewards did a fabulous job and the bus service was brilliant.

Review of Astley Illuminated

Music and dance was too dreary. The event has been much better in previous years. Needed more music. You could only see the dancers outside Astley Hall if you were right at the front. Children were bored. Disappointed that the hall wasn’t open as it has been in previous years.

Review of Astley Illuminated

It was the most boring thing I have ever watched in a long time, a few years ago it was great, but this year it was like a satanic ritual

Review of Astley Illuminated

The event was a lot smaller than expected. There were only about 4 stalls and there wasn’t an awful lot of things lit up. The actually show was a real disappointment as we had no idea what was actually happening there were just a group of women doing a strange yoga dance in medieval outfits with nothing to explain the context of what was going on and no music to go with it.
The setting of Astley hall was lovely and I can’t really complain about the event as it was free but it would have been good if we have actually know what the performance was about.

Review of Astley Illuminated

The lights were reasonable but would have been better to have a light show with music. The dance performance was very abstract and didn’t provide any context to what was trying to be explained. The children were bored very quickly and people around us were saying similar

Review of Astley Illuminated

Astley Hall is beautiful and I go quite a lot as I live near.....but this event I just found weird didn't understand the dancing and the lighting wasn't like the pictures I'd looked at .....but each to their own I guess

Review of Astley Illuminated

Incomprehensible, self indulgent. I'm sure people & tech capable of so much more. Disappointed, left early along with many others.

Review of Astley Illuminated

Very disappointing. Bring back SPARK the LED drummers!

Review of Astley Illuminated

Not as good as previous years but worth a visit for free. We'll attended event.

Review of Astley Illuminated

A poor show in comparison to previous years. I think narration to go with the dancing could have made the show better.

Review of Astley Illuminated

Lovely night

Review of Astley Illuminated

Not very good at all, would have been disappointed if we had to pay for the tickets

Review of Astley Illuminated

. was expecting a light show to music and dancing. although there was 'dancing' and 3 different colours of lights all I can say is it was strange, maybe if there was something to tell the story behind the dance it might have made some sense. I am so glad it was a free event

Review of Astley Illuminated

Not what I expected. Could be more family friendly.
