Review of Lot 13 A New Ghost Story For Christmas 2023

Very atmospheric performance, loved the way we followed the story around the hall .

Review of Lot 13 A New Ghost Story For Christmas 2023

Well thought out piece of drama, but no conclusion as to who killed the victim. Not scary. Wouldn't attend any more.

Review of Lot 13 A New Ghost Story For Christmas 2023

This was well done but don't think it was worth the price due to it being only 40 minutes long. Very atmospheric setting.

Fantastic show, classic Christmas ghost story. Amazing performance by the actors and a great story line. I highly recommend this show

Review of Lot 13 A New Ghost Story For Christmas 2023

I think it is an excellent concept but just not executed to it's full potential. There was a nice build up to the finale but there was no particular scare or fright. The prop skeleton got more giggles from the audience. I hope this isn't rude but rather used as constructive criticism

This was great fun in an amazing Hall

Review of Victorian Father Christmas at Samlesbury Hall

A lovely location, enhanced by the roaring wood fire and 1:1 time with Father Christmas. Only improvement would be a better gift for the child than a candy cane. The night before Christmas story would be my suggestion. You can pick up copies pretty cheap.

Review of Victorian Father Christmas at Samlesbury Hall

A beautiful highlight of Christmas so far. A one to one experience with an enchanting father Christmas, who spent time with my 4 year old girl. For her first experience of understanding the concept of Christmas on the whole, she was left in awe and could not stop saying ' he was a nice man', leaving her excited for the next days to come. I would highly recommend and we look forward to visiting next year! Xx

Underwhelming. Not worth the money!

Review of Victorian Father Christmas at Samlesbury Hall

Took my children because I wanted them to experience Christmas in a more traditional and less commercialised way. It was so cozy and unique.

Review of Victorian Father Christmas at Samlesbury Hall

Literally in and out. We sat there for 2 minutes friendly Santa and elf and nice fire, however was no music and you'd think for the price of it that you'd at least get some sort of present! Not like the venue is anywhere close either especially when we don't drive and come from Blackburn. Will not be attending again next year unfortunately and would not recommend

Review of Divorced, Beheaded and Died - An Audience with Henry VIII

Great evening. Well organised, good atmosphere, friendly staff. The actor playing Henry VIII was just brilliant. Highly recommend

Review of Divorced, Beheaded and Died - An Audience with Henry VIII

Highly enjoyable evening, staff were so helpful and it was really well organised- all eventualities catered for esp the weather with an indoor and outdoor plan in place. Henry was great- captivating to listen to and he really bought History alive. the question and answers at the end was v entertaining and he really knew his stuff. Had a good night out and learned something new. All good.
Staff were so helpful with my dad too, who has mobility issues.
Highly recommend and would love to attend another similar event soon.
