Review of A Magical Christmas Grotto

My two girls really enjoyed themselves the only downside was it was outside so a bit cold we dis have to wait around for each area a bit . The staff were very good .

Review of A Magical Christmas Grotto

Venue was poor - water leaking onto children - cold - poor seating people prams struggled space

Activities weren't interactive enough kids got colour nose on decoration then moved onto photograph which was taken rather low & dark - activity to make reundeer food once in bag nothing else to do! Writing letter santa only good age group that can read or write
Santas gift was poor chocolate coins & teddy for all from baker ross all got same little thought to age group as older ones preferred something for their age!

Lot people expected to be inside castle rather than gazebo so rather disappointing

On positive note staff were nice & santa good

Review of A Magical Christmas Grotto

There were far too many people booked in at the same time. Seeing Father Christmas first seemed strange rather than do activities and build up to seeing him at the end. Because of overbooking people there was a lot of standing about waiting - with children - is a no no for me! Cut the group size by half and it would be higher marks. Father Christmas and both elves did a great job. Mrs Claus came across too scary for the children!

Review of A Magical Christmas Grotto

Not a great atmosphere, very squashed. Not a great present from santa. The elves weee good though!

The lady elf with blond hair, twinkle toes?? She was fab and very entertaining for the children.

Review of A Magical Christmas Grotto

First time my daughter has met santa, was very disappointed there wasn't somewhere warmer to wait before going inside, picture we had taken on the sleigh was absolutely awful and blurred (would of preferred a picture with santa obviously ) my daughter was shy and no real effort was made to get her involved, felt really unorganised and not magical at all, waste of money in my opinion and will go elsewhere next year.

the magic show was for child

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

6-8 stalls - very poor. Food stalls looked more interesting but we were not eating.

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

Nice day out. Magic show was superb. Nice craft stalls. I thought there might have been a few hands on craft tutorials or something of the like. Food and drink good and prices not too bad.

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

Some lovely vintage and original items for sale, just not many stalls. I possibly wouldn't have gone if I'd had to pay. Only heard one singer but she was fantastic - I could have quite happily sat in the sunshine with a pot of coffee and listened to her all day.

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

Waste of money, not enough stalls selling goods. Very disappointed.

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

Lovely day out. Fewer stalls than anticipated, but great items at a reasonable price. Food a bit pricey.

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

I was there at 11am so it was quiet,but the stalls were open. My favourite stall though was the birds of prey. Fabulous

Superb venue, great atmosphere. All in all a very enjoyable day. ☀😁

Review of Crafty Vintage : Lancaster Castle

Nowhere near enough stalls, some stuff for kids but not of interest to us. Some music too but no better than buskers in the town. Not enough for us to spend more than 10 mins there. Disappointing.
