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

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Getting into the venue was appalling , the lighting was next to none so the poor venue holders had to use there torches on their phones, needed more info on stalls

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Queued for over an hour to get in to be turned away and unable to attend!

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Poorly organised and it wasn't what we expected. When the advert said mystics and tarots we were expecting more interactive stalls like this but there were only 2. It was nearly all just stalls to buy from and even that was 75% wax melts or cakes. Very little gothic/witchy like we expected. Advertised as having entertainment but all we could see was some speakers playing boring pop music. Also can't understand the point of the tickets when most people didn't have tickets and not a single person asked to see ours.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Lovely venue however took 90mins to get there due to traffic of people attending and we only live 20mins away. Then inside it was too busy and very disappointing. Left after 20 mins. Also paid £8 for two Pepsi max pints out of a bottle which weren't cold.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

There were too many people for such a small event, the tent was so packed you could hardly move or see the stalls, poor lighting for half of the sellers. not very well organised

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

No ticket check to get in. Hall was overcrowded. Lighting was terrible, couldn't see the items on stalls as it was too dark. Queue for bar/food was huge. Took longer to get in then I spent there as it was too crowded

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

The queue to get in was horrendous so we had to leave. Such a shame

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Fare to busy was a little like a cattle market it was advertised at moonlit with but had most of the same stalls that where there during the day on the previous Sunday could have been better organised

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Far too dark, the poor stall holders had to use phone torches for customers. Literally couldn't see but easily fixed by venue for next time

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

There was far too many people at the event. You could hardly get near the stalls to see things properly. Not enough eating places (other than cakes, too many of them), or even somewhere to buy a bottle of water, I was not standing in the big queue at the bar! The traffic trying to get out battling against those trying to get in was very disorganised. I was stuck on an incline trying to get out and cars coming in would not leg me out. A parking Marshall should have been here to ease this problem.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Event was great getting into the event was a joke 45 minutes queue to get into the car park

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Can't comment. Couldn't get anywhere near the venue due to traffic so turned around and went back home

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Far too full. Couldn't get near the stalls. Traffic and parking was chaos. Price of refreshments was disgusting, especially when watching them pour from plastic bottles. Didn't hear or see any live music/entertainment. Wouldn't recommend or attend again

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Needs some traffic control getting towards hardwick hall. Took us 1hr 45mins from Stockton, usually a 20min drive. Then it was falsely advertised as 'mediums and tarot card readers' there wasn't one medium. There were 2 really bad tarot card readers that had a queue a mile long and extremely overpriced. There was one savoury food stall of a hog roast with also a massive queue. 100% not worth the trip. Glad it was free!

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

We booked tickets online for his event, we were stuck in traffic for 1 hour and 30 minutes and decided to turn around as spoke to a friend who mentioned people were only allowing one in one out of the car park. I think if you are offering tickets to an event then you should only allow ticketed people into the event and work out the logistics of parking.
Very disappointed.
