Anyone go this year? Or been previously?

If so what do you think of it? Missed out this year on tickets but will try for 2025, especially with them operating a new additional venue towards Manchester, saves 5-6hrs driving round trip for us.

I know you could probably get 5 nights all inclusive in Tenerife for the same price but kids are only young once etc...

We did it last year, took our youngest two 5 and 7. It was absolutely brilliant. For information we went on a Saturday morning, the first session of the day.

Yes it cost a significant amount for 4 hours, but it was worth to see / hear the kids talk about it before and after the experience.

Good luck getting tickets! That was a challenge in itself.

My advice is to make sure everyone is well fed before you get there, as it’s quite a while before you can eat and the food was meh, for the price.

Went last year. It’s amazing as an experience. Getting tickets, especially for specific dates and times in challenging. We had 5 devices across 2 people all in the queue on the day of release to get ours

As above the food on site is expensive and terrible

Manchester tickets sorted yesterday. Was in both ques and roughly after 3 hours of queuing for each, had the choice of Ascot and Manchester so opted for the latter to save almost 6 hours round trip travelling.

Ascot seems sold out but days/times for the newer northern one still seem available.

Regarding food etc, good advice. Our slot is practically in between meal times so will probably just be a sweet treat and coffee for the adults and whatever the kids fancy...

We’ve booked for the 21st in Manchester with a 3 and 5 year old.

Any tips from regulars to make the most of it?
