Review of The Winter Gathering

Couldn't even find the event. Circled the London Road Fire House, scoured the Winter Gathering social media sites... not a hint of it happening.

Review of The Winter Gathering

THE EVENT WAS CLOSED!!..
No prior notification so we only knew when we arrived at the venue,very very disappointed as this is where my partner was born,... He was then stationed there 18yrs later until its closure.....this was meant to be a surprise nostalgic outing.

Review of The Winter Gathering

We were extremely disappointed, after travelling into Manchester city centre, to find the event had been cancelled without any prior notice. Luckily we didn't pay for the tickets but we did lose out on the travel expenses getting into town. I would definitely think twice about purchasing anything from skiddle again!

Review of Mvson Presnts : Ice City : Boxing Day Special

Holding an outdoor event in the middle of december, in manchester is pointless. Why were tickets £22. Why was there so much house music until 3am. Why was security throwing people out for smelling like w**d but hadnt had a drop of alcohol all night.

Review of The Winter Gathering

We travelled all the way to the Winter Gathering on 25th December arriving around 2.30pm and when we got there it was closed. We then had to drive around to find something else to enjoy our day.

The event wasn't even on!!! We arrived at 6pm and the doors were being closed. You ruined our Xmas eve!!!

Review of The Winter Gathering

We booked ice skating for 3pm and arrived 20 mins early. Doors did not open until 2:59 and there was 1 staff member to process tickets. After a long queue to get in we then joined the queue for skates.

We eventually got into the ice at 3:20 and we're asked to leave the ice at 3:50 despite being told we''d get at least 45 minutes. The ice rink was overcrowded and difficult to move around.

Venue was understaffed and overbooked.

Review of The Winter Gathering presents Suru

Excited to have got free tickets to a potentially great venue only to find the prices for ice skating were appallingly expensive - £60 for a family of five compared to £45 or less elsewhere in Manchester. Arrived at 1.30pm, little atmosphere and nothing else there for children. Went elsewhere with three disappointed children. May suite a young couple on a date but not in my view family friendly or orientated

Review of The Winter Gathering presents Funkademia takeover

Fantastic use of space

Review of The Winter Gathering presents Jenna & the g\'s

Nice to see the building back in use. The band was excellent, great jazz sound and superb singing. However one ice rink, a few expensive food stalls and a couple of bars and band isn't quite what I was expecting as a Winter Wonderland. I thought there would be more craft stalls for example. What was there was good but not enough. And paying £6 for a ticket for it then to suddenly become free - and no effort from the organisers to refund that money is a rip off.

Review of The Winter Gathering presets Robert Owens

Brilliant !! Music was so good and great atmosphere
