Review of Mamma Mania ABBA Tribute & The Freddie & Queen Experience

Great entertainment from 3 acts.

4 hours of cracking music in a safe venue.

Get these three acts on again.

Review of Mamma Mania ABBA Tribute & The Freddie & Queen Experience

A great night! Fab venue and entertainment. A selection of non alcoholic drinks (prosecco and beer) would be a good idea for anyone not drinking.

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

Very poor show, The sound was bad, could hardly hear what they said. We left early, lots of children bored and running around. Very disappointing

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

They left the bouncy castles on during the pantomime you could hardly hear the actors speak during the pantomime kids wear running up and down whilst the pantomime was on the staff didn't do anything to control them

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

Was chaotic! We sat at the back. Unable to hear much of dialog. faulty microphone at the beginning of the show. Teenagers screaming just being disrespectful to the performers but no staff intervene. Toilet is a mess very wet floor. Very smokey room coming from the hallway reception entrance . It wasn't a great experience over all.

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

Don't waste your money 30 mins in reception on arrival crammed in with over a 100 people before you can be seated then another hour until the panto started during the panto the 2 bouncy castle where still up so all u could hear was the generators then to leave you had to get threw the staff members cloud of cigarette smoke in the entrance with my child who has asthma wont be going back ever.

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

Like a lot of other families we left half way through, never been to see Aladdin before where you get a gorilla singing I’m the king of the jungle, everything was rubbish, the costumes, set and story was awful,I felt embarrassed for the “actors”

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

We all had a great time thankyou

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

The story was impossible to follow, it had very little to do with Aladdin and didn’t make sense. There was too much talking which young children lost interest in. There was no tuck shop and the venue ran out of Crisps chocolate and juice in the first hour. Over half the people watching left half of au through due to the pantomime being so hard to follow. Bouncy castles felt unsafe, no one was regulating the age of the children on there or how rough they were playing making it dangerous for younger children to go on.

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

Too noisy couldn't hear the performers properly

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

While I was enthusiastic about this play I think there was a few misses. Some of which includes the poor mic of some of the actors. The play included lots of dialogue and we could barely hear any of it. As a play for kids, it wasn't as engaging or as dramatic as it needed to. A lot of people started to leave just as the play started and it was demoralizing. We also had to wait for an hour before it started. Kids are restless in case you didn't know and waiting for an hour didn't cut it. Overall, it isn't a play I would recommend or see again. There's a lot to say but this would do.

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

Terrible. Left after an hour.

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

THE PANTOMIME ON THE WHOLE WAS GOOD THE CHILDREN LOVED IT BUT THE ORGANISATION OF THE EVENT WAS VERY ALARMING. THE CONTROL OF THE WHOLE EVENT WAS SHAMBOLIC MOST OF THE AUDIENCE LEFT BEFORE HALF TIME . WAITING FOR A FULL HOUR FOR AN EVENT TO BEGIN WITH SMALL CHILDREN PROVED JUST TO MUCH WITH NO EXPLANATION OR ENTERNTAINMENT TO KEEP PEOPLE OCCUPIED MAYBE HAVE SOMEONE TO WARM UP WITH SONGS OR SOMETHING FIRST THE BOUNCY CASTLES WERE COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND NOT SUPERVISED THE TOILETS IN A TERRIBLE STATE THANK GOD NO HEALTH AND SAFETY VISIT WAS CARRIED OUT

Review of Children\'s Pantomime Aladdin

It was absolutely bedlam there was no organisation and all the children were running riot I bought 4 x family tickets at £16.75 and I want a full refund immediately thank you
