Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

The fair rides were too close together and with the amount of people so struggled to get around with a pushchair

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

Thr venue was so poorly tight in space making it unsuitable for children. Two large buses placed in driveway entrance meaning tight access walking past them them people entering late on meany it was unsafe with no lighting. 1st firework display was not advertised as for children and was late by 20 minutes with no explanation so we left as it only lady some 5 minutes then the next display took place 10 minutes later which we had to take in from the street. The load guy on wheel activity was far to loud to the point he was soooo annoying! Food was nice but expensive.

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

My family and I were so disappointed this year. From the very long wait with only two coaches on to get to venues, which made us at least 45 mins late and arriving at 6:15 we went to make our way straight to standing to get a space for fireworks, we’ll this was a shambles it was full to capacity you couldn’t even get in the forecourt. I had a 4 and 7 year old child with everyone so tall staring over them it was intimidating and cramped. My husband had to carry out 7 year old in crippling back pain and I had my 4 year old. The delay was ridiculous lots of children crying as they has waited so long already. The 6:30 session started over 20m late which meant only a short run before the next. So many people in the crowd were unbelievably disappointed, fed up and trying to cheat children up! The fireworks once on my children enjoyed but my husband and I struggled holding two children so they could see a tiny bit!! We left straight away to get the coach to which was an even bigger queue to go back so we had to walk to get home quicker with a very tired two children, so unfair on them!! I then had to go and fetch my car as it was all the way at park and ride!! Nothing flowed it was so cramped you couldn’t even go on a ride or treat the children! It became about cramping everyone in and making money not the experience and two upset children! I think there will be a lot of refund requests and very disappointed families who wanted a nice experience which not many seemed to get. Unorganised chaos and just not fair when you want a nice family evening out! All in all very disappointed!!

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

The viewing area wasn't big enough and the fair stalls blocked it. The fireworks were OK but not amazing

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

A great rugby club but unfortunately it was extremely overcrowded. Way too many people were let in. We could barely move or get near to a kiosk to get a drink. The fireworks were over very quickly and were not very good. Overall we didn’t enjoy the night and wouldn’t go again. Sorry for the bad review.

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

So so crowded, which meant even walking round really difficult let alone with a pushchair. Really loud music from one ride that just took over the whole place! Last year there was a smaller child ride, but this year seemed to be only for big kids. Ques for food and drink were ridiculous. We purposely went late so we didn’t have to wait around for long for the fireworks for them to be 15 mins late and lasted all of 5 minutes! Took family with us as we said it would be good, but was rubbish and embarrassed we even took them along!

Was so overcrowded, displays delayed, rides and food too close together.

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

It was such a waste of money. Fireworks were poor and there were technical difficulties. No where to sit other than a few picnic tables. Fairground was limited and overpriced. All in all a terrible event.

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

It was far to busy, most stalls ran out of food or had an half hour wait, very crammed in and both of my little girls couldn’t see the fire works because the crowds was too big and stalls etc was in the way. The display itself was again very disappointing

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

Far too many people for the amount of rides. Poor firework display. Did not even see the second display as waiting in line for a ride and was not aware of what time they started

Review of Forest Firework Display 2023

The event was buzzing and full of atmosphere however too many were allowed to attend and it was just packed with long queues to obtain any food or drink (which we gave up on!) two short displays of fireworks, the second of which was great. Just too many people in the space available for it to be the experience we were hoping for
