Having read some bad reviews prior to my visit I decided to go with an open mind as we were in the area and took up their offer on half price entry on Fridays. It therefore only cost us £13 for 3 people. I thought as it was half price then it would be busy as it was school holidays,... more

This supposed attraction is a complete waste of money and space for that matter. I was actually quite excited to see what all the fuss of dickens world was about, only to be extremely disappointed. When i asked to speak with the manager I was told I couldn't, now what kind of a place that you've paid £47.50 to get... more

Finally got to take the family (10 & 14 yr old children) plus 14 yr old Russian student, who at least has heard of Charles Dickens, this weekend. Entrance was £42-ish for the 5 of us, which was ok. Now, my 14 yr old, who'd been sulking all the way down, because he didn't want to go, upon entering uttered... more

Adult admission costs £12.95 and the attraction is about right for the money. Initial impressions are very good when you walk into the courtyard. I enjoyed the boat ride, (amusing if hardly white knuckle,) the 4d cinema, the Pepper's Ghost scene "haunted house" & the stage show. It was quiet when I went during the week, so was not impressed... more

As an avid reader of charles Dickens I went to Dickens World expecting to be entertained and informed about this great writer and his characters. what I found was a confusing, half hearted very limited thing in a large warehouse and worse of all - Dickens World managed to make Dickens and his characters incredibly boring!!! What a missed opportunity.... more

We very much wanted to like Dickens World; by the time we left, we felt sorry for the staff working there. There was virtually nothing to do - the Haunted House contained a series of unimpressive, disconnected and poorly acted vignettes that were dull and uninvolving. The 4D (or was it 3D?) cinema was probably the best attraction, but the... more

Well Cool - loved it!! The staff in character were excellent and I found out a lot more than I thought I would about the period. Not just for young families, I went with a couple of mates and it was cool. Pub lunch after rounded everything off nicely. more

I didnt know what to expect but the children loved it and because they did I did. Very friendly staff and a great family day out. I am planning to re-visit this Christmas as I am sure it will be another great day out. more

I visited recently Dickens World with my 16 year old son during a Sunday afternoon. I hadn't read any reviews on here beforehand and wasn't sure what to expect. First imprssions were good - greeted by costumed staff explaining what was where and an impressive Victorian Courtyard. However, the lack of patrons was palpable. We first went to the Britannia... more
