Sorry Sammy, but if you go to the website you'll see that there are no tickets left that cost less than £75 (my original £85 & £95 quote was for days that I would consider going !!). Even at £75 a throw that still makes it a £300 1/2 day (4hrs) outing for a family of 4 .

I have no idea if this has gone ahead, I think my boss was going from a work point of view, I know alot of the things on the website they can't deliver on like skating on ice.

They have no ice rink, they have cardboard painted white and they have not got mickey mouse etc as we pointed out the copy right infringements. They also have no entertainments license so they should nbot be even holding the event. They have 3 portaloos, well they did when I was in the muddy field on Friday.

They advertise gingerman decorating, this is only for one day.

I will go and hunt the pic I took on my phone while I was there.

Samson didnt feel like playing reindeer, but I saw some horses in a near by field that look like suitable stand ins
