Hardwick Hall Hotel Sedgefield, Durham reviews by real event-goers

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Event was too crowded to enjoy anything. Hardly any card readers / mediums mostly stalls but couldn't really look at stalls due to so many people.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Could not even get in. Poor organisation and planning

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Great event, fab stalls but far to busy from the drive to looking round the markets (let's not mention the two hour tarot card queue to be turned away) - should be on over a few days

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Waited in a queue of traffic for a hour to then be told had to go and turn around and join another queue of traffic to which point came home which was a shame as we where really looking forward to attending, not very well organised. Looking at over reviews from people who managed to get in seem like we made the right decision to leave as doesn't sound like it was very well organised inside the event either

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Couldn't even get into the venue because we waited in gridlock traffic to the hotel for 40 mins, wasn't organised at a venue to cater for the amount of people attendint

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Phenomenal event supper busy great stalls, highly recommend!

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

After driving 25 minutes to the event then waiting in traffic for 35 minutes we were told on the main road we could not access the event as the car park was to busy, I feel it would be better being a ticket only event so the venu can ensure there is enough spaces for visitors.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Can't review actual cos we never managed to get in! Absolutely chaos stuck in traffic gridlocked for over an hour we had to turn around.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Even though i got tickets before we could not even get to the event having waited in the very long queue for nearly an hour gave up and went home

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Lack of light in in the main tent couldn't see items on stalls properly and they were having to use their mobile phone lights

How ever overall the venue was lovely

Downside was not good for disabled people using wheelchairs etc, no access

Sandwich was a little expensive and didn't like the fact that there was full pig on display, yes I am a meat eater but felt that was just not okay to do, made me sad to look at it so didn't get a sandwich

Advice if going to do a free event and offer tickets on skiddle at no cost, should have been an amount available then at least they would know how many people would turn up, it was absolutely hectic, way too many people

Cues for tarot were horrendous which stopped the isles from moving easily, maybe get more

Otherwise once a lot of people left I did enjoy it and the stalls were really good, a lot of choice available

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

It was nightmare getting into the venue and there was not enough parking spaces the queue to get in took over 45 minutes

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Horrible. Would never recommend. They made the fact of tarot readers and medium's big. There was one tarot read and one oracle card reader and the lines were so long I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get in by the end and it was 7. It was not as it led to be.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Took 40 minutes to get in and park and Hardwick park car park was closed and everyone was parking on grass verges.

No love entertainment, but music playing from speakers.

There were only people doing tarot Card readings and the queues were around the marquee, getting in the way of other stalls.

Only one place to get food and drink, which was two different queues and not many options for food.

A really unorganized event which had so much potential.

Also, why were dogs allowed? And how did you expect people in wheelchairs to get down slippy stone steps?

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Ticketed event but no one checking tickets so it was incredibly busy. Vendors were having to use their phone lights to try and display their work as lights weren't provided to the stalls and it was very dark in the venue. Thought music would be a bit more spooky or atmospheric.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

after queing in traffic for over an hour to get in trouble parking then couldnt get near the stalls and it was to dark without a torch to see any details on anything

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Terribly organised queued 2 hours to get in then was turned away and refused access

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Waited 1 hr 15 in traffic to get into venue. Marquee had a foisty smell to it and was too small for the amount of people in there. Some stalls weren't relevant to the theme e.g. clothing stalls selling fast fashion. Two mediums with enormous queues/waiting lists so couldn't get seen. Left after 15 minutes. Would not waste my time again.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Queued in traffic for 1 hour and 30 minutes, the venue was absolutely rammed couldn't get to a stall for a proper look. Was tripping over people's dogs.. why bring your dog? Live music? Where was the live music? Over priced tat on most stalls that I did manage to view. Was advertised for mediums and tarot readers, there was one? And the queue to see her was over an hour wait. Done one lap around bought one thing at a stall I could get to and then left. Very poorly organised.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Venue was nice but was a small area to get though with the crowds

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

We could not get into the grounds to park as we were turned away and the traffic was manic so disappointing as we never got the chance to go.
