Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Ridiculously organised at the venue itself. No room to see the stalls and what was the point of getting a ticket if they weren't checked and it was a free for all as soon as it hit 6?

Waited over 30 minutes in traffic to finally get to the event for them to tell us there’s no available parking so we weren’t able to attend.

Entry was horrendous due to no relay thought to parking. Traffic was gridlocked, way too busy inside and couldn’t get near most stands. The lighting was too dark making it difficult to see the stands you did manage to get to.

Enjoyed the event very busy though

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Not organised - tickets should have been mandatory to keep the traffic and queues in check. Waste of an evening.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

I had high expectations - thinking this was going to be different to other craft type events.. however, wasn’t to be - same old, same old! Not enough tarot card, palm readers, etc.. and the queues were long for those that were there. Getting into the venue was chaotic - cars queuing (took 40mins to travel from Bishop Middleham, only to be told that you couldn’t enter from that direction and having to travel to the A689 roundabout. Not enough stewards to ensure people were safe, parking anywhere and everywhere!!
Noticed no accessible ramp for visitors in wheelchairs. Health & safety was non existent. The lighting in the marquee was terrible and could hardly see some of the stalls!
Badly planned and over subscribed.
One of the stall-holders told me 6,00 tickets had been applied for!!
Next time don’t make it out to be something it’s not. ☹️

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Not what expected at all. Took an hour and 20 minutes to get in due to traffic. Very underwhelming when inside and expected more.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

We spent a really long time in traffic to get to the venue. Upon arrival we were told the event is being closed early. So had to drive another half an hour home. Waste of time and petrol.

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

We were not granted entry due to car park being full and staff that were directing traffic were rude and incompetent

Review of Moonlit Makers Market Hardwick Hall

Poor organisation was sat in traffic outside the venue for over an hour. Too busy, a few people not sure where to actually go for the market when they were inside Hardwick hall. Goods being sold were over priced
