Not enough stalls for how many people turned up. Badly organised. Too many people to be able to move around and shop

A diabolical shambles which must have contravened every fire regulation going. A huge waste of my time, effort and cost of travel getting there.

After pre booking my tick*t I turned up at the venue. The queue was winding three times and there were people waiting who hadn't pre booked. I asked a member of the staff if there was a fast track entry for the event but told no, everyone had to wait in the queue! What was the point of booking then!! The queue was going to take over an hour to get in and as I was on crutches I decided to leave. From what I've read since there was far too many people inside and you couldn't check out the stalls properly. Very few people were coming out with bags of shopping.
A very poorly organised event and I won't bother with any after this fiasco! 😡🤬

It was really busy. There was loads of confusion over whether you needed a tick*t to get in or not. Stood queuing for an hour then wasn't even asked for a tick*t. Parking was poor and not signposted well. Wasn't too impressed with variety of stalls either

Queues were horrendous, lots of stalls mostly selling overpriced Christmas 'tat' or stuff that was not seasonally related. No Christmas atmosphere at all. Definitely lots of scope for improvement. I wouldn't go again.

When I first arrived at 11am car park was bedlam. Looked at stalls outside first then went to look inside. Stood on along queue outside tk be told this was exit only and to go around the front. Waited in another long queue before getting inside. I feel thee shoukd have been signs to say where to go or someone to help. Alot of angry people and this could have been avoided.
When leaving carpark was a nightmare to get out. Would benefit from parking attendants

The place was too overcrowded and really bad organised. People was advised to get a time tick*t that then were not needed but everyone turned up at the same time. Very limited parking spaces. Little food stalls despite advertising a lot of them. Several crafts not related to Christmas mark*ts. Would not recommend or would go again.

Hardly any parking and an hour queue to stand outside before getting in. Chaotic

Poorly organised, we ordered tick*ts for a 1-3pm slot arrived at 12.30 as we saw how big the queue was, it wasn't managed at all and was a free for all . After queuing for over an hour the side gates were opened and those who had waited less than 10 minutes were granted access into the event as the queue was crazy, and those like ourselves who had been waiting were told to continue to wait. 1.55 we gained entrance to the event and by 2.15 we were back in our car - absolute waste of time. Some lovely stalls but it was so busy you couldn't even get close them to buy anything

Needs to be better organised

Overcrowded, no Xmas theme in sight - was a mark stall in a sports hall. Parking for disabled was horrendous, staff were rude and queued for 35 mins to get in. I won't be going back - not festive at hall
