Completely oversold on the event. Light show and fireworks in opposite directions so unable to watch both. Light display was som**hing from the 70s not a laser show. No stools or carol singers. DJ and absolute disaster and finished 2 hours early

Review of Brocket Hall Christmas Lights Switch On

Good afternoon

I am writing to you to share my feedback on the evening of the 21st November for the Christmas lights switch on.

After attending the Fireworks evening which was excellent my expectations of the Christmas switch on were along the same lines. We thought this would be a great ideas for a Christmas get together with friend and would get us in to a festive spirit. We are a family of 4 and we had an additional 15 people to our group to come along too.

Sadly it really wasn't what we thought it was going to be. I appreciate it was the first year but we were really disappointed and felt it was not value for money. The opening times was from 4pm till 9pm. Our friends arrived at 5:30 and by 6:30 there was nothing to do or see other than hang around. If someone arrived at 4 I am not sure what they would do to fill their time for the full duration.

We hoped that the laser show would be worth the wait so we persevered in the cold. Unfortunately this was a massive let down too, the laser show on the Manor House was just a projection of some images. We accidentally noticed behind us the opposite way some random fireworks going off. We didn't know which way to look. There was music playing by the DJ but it was quiet unless standing right up close to it and other music playing to the fireworks and lasers show again it was quiet and the two merged together.

After the laser show most people left.

We had teenagers with us and I would say the target audience should have been for families with young children.

I felt really disappointed having organised our friend meet up and they paid to come along on our recommendation, really on the back end of the firework display and previous good experiences.

We decided to leave and went to the local pub instead.

As a suggestion I feel the laser show could have been much better there are so many examples on YouTube showing led lights and lasers to music creating an atmosphere and fun.
I don't feel the fireworks were required.

Adding a big count down to a lights being switched on to a Christmas tree and maybe other trees in the area then followed by the laser show to music. Could include bit of fake snow being blown now and then, like the bubbles at the firework display. Maybe a couple of real reindeers on show.

There needs to be more stalls. Have local businesses and craft makers selling their products in pretty Christmas wooden huts along with the food and beverage stalls.

I really hope that this feedback is seen as constructive rather than a negative. Learning can be made from this. Overall Brock*t Hall always delivers in what they do and I think that is why this feels so disappointing.

Thank you for listening it's appreciated

Really disappointing for the money to be honest 
Arrived too early and wasn't anything much to do

This event was terrible. There were food & drinks stalls and only one stall selling rattan reindeers. I was expecting more Christmas stalls. The only lights switched on were on the tree. The lazer show and fireworks done at the same time and in the opposite direction so you had keep turning around to see both. At one point there was different music being played from different areas. It was difficult to walk down to the bar inside as there  were no lights or path, only mud and grass.

The fireworks and light display were awful and should have been done  separately as you couldn't watch both at the same time so pointless and wasteful to put both on at the same time. At opposite sides of the garden space . The light display was amateurish. Out of focus and the symbols not aligned. If you are going to do a light show make sure the house you are projecting into has equal and neat curtains not random pulled/ half open and closed .
The music should have been intime to the lights or at least topical .
There was supposed to be a street mark*t but there was one bar, one hamburger van one desert truck and a coffee stand. There was one lady selling reindeer . 
The cost for all this was £16 each. Not impressive at all!

Not worth the £16 - the light show and fireworks were at 2 separate ends of the field so didn't know which way to turn. The light switch on only consisted of a tree! Very few people there, only 1 Christmas stall and couple of food vans. Very poor.
