Sorry we arrived a little too late for Robert Wolfes performance on the Wurlitzer. It must be 30 years since my last visit here and was surprised that he was still performing and to the same high standard (caught last 5 mins). The crowd had obviously enjoyed it. It's fantastic that these old machines are still working and playing a range of new and old music. The Children loved the carousel .Just a shame kids over 12 are considered adults as this makes it a very expensive place especially when all is not open at the moment.

We visited the enchanted journey of light today and thought it was so good I’d leave a review.. was gobsmacked to see some of the negative reviews below? We took our 3yr old grandson and he was in awe and enchanted from start to finish.I’m in my 50’s and I felt the same. The display is huge and split into sections each with a different theme. This must have cost a fortune to stage and blew my mind. I’ve never been to the Thursford show but can now see why it sells out year after year. Great value, incredible spectacle and well run. Staff were really polite and happy too which makes it all the more enjoyable. Will definitely go again next year if they do it.

Yesterday was my 29th visit to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. It is an amazing show but, sadly, the Christmassy content seems to reduce year on year and is becoming more of a London Theatre Cabaret show than a Christmas show. The only difference being one would pay a lot more money to see a London Cabaret show. We might go next year for one final visit, haven't decided yet. The other downside is the free for all to get out of the car park after the show. The marshalling staff are extremely efficient and helpful with getting cars in and parked but it is a different story trying to get out. There is no help, no organisation and it is a free for all with those having the strongest nerves to battle their way into moving traffic, coming from all directions, being the winners. It took us over an hour to get out last night.

Booked tickets for Light Show in September and took out insurance in case friends could not join us this year in case of predicted second wave of covid. Said if you have to cancel your money would be refunded. All friends are now in Tier 3 and cannot travel and as Norfolk in Tier 2 they could not stay with us anyway. We do not visit Thursford until the 15th Dec so thought they would be able to resell tickets and refund me as I had taken out insurance. I was told there is no refunds and surprise, surprise the insurance does not accept covid19 as a reason to get your money back. It says being in a Tier is not a reason even though when I booked tickets In September the PM had not introduced tier systems until 12th October. This has left a very nasty taste and I do not like being conned. Usually I buy 12 tickets for family to visit the Thursford music show every year but will not be giving them any more of my hard earned cash!

The most expensive £33 we've ever spent. We were literally here for 15 minutes and had seen everything. As the website and leaflets advertise it as a steam museum we were led to believe there would be some steam but no, the engines are static and not fired up. The carousels do look gorgeous but we would have had to wait another hour to go on one (they only run at certain times) so after we'd looked round the museum we left, giving our museum and ride tickets to another family in the queue. We did speak to a member of staff but it didn't get us anywhere.

We have visited Santa's journey multiple times over the years & have always enjoyed the magic. This year however was an overpriced joke. We went into the journey to have notices saying Keep moving! We were unable to stop, look, read or listen to the story as stopping is prohibited! Trying to see the positive side, we said at least we have the small shows on the little stage near the cafe. Came out to find these have also gone, there's just stuffed animals on the stage. No snowing 3D show, no magic show. Therefore we were done in 30 mins. We drove a total of over 3 hours & paid almost £70 for 2 adults & one child for 30 minutes! It's not even worth £10! Avoid especially if you have been before as now its a rip off & a complete let down to how it used to be.

We haven’t been for a few years due to Covid so we’re eager to return. We were not disappointed. Booking early we had great seats near the front with a wonderful view of the whole, enormous stage. The singing, dancing and costumes were brilliant. The acrobatic acts were superb and the use of the screen so that everyone could see the girl with hula hoops was a wonderful idea. We laughed at the comedian, clapped and sung along - great value for money. Make sure you visit Fantasy Land - even as OAPs we were enthralled. The. light trail was new and we were amazed at the spectacle, although very cold due to the below zero temperatures. We didn’t eat at Thursford, but enjoyed a refreshing cup of tea, which cost less than expected at £2 each. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we have already decided to book for 2023 as soon as the tickets go on sale later this week,

Wow what an amazing event this year. The Thursford Christmas team have once again excelled themselves to create a truly magical Christmas experience despite all the Covid restrictions. The staff were all friendly & informative & my family and I felt very safe with all the enhanced cleaning, sanitizing and crowd organization which has been put in place. The lights, characters, steam engines and winter wonderland were brilliant but that was not all on offer. The grounds of the museum have been transformed into a wonderful world of huge light sculptures. The subtle mood music and sounds which accompany the route through these magnificent sculptures make it a very sensory experience. There is also a traditional style fairground so plenty to do. We were able to have some hot mulled wine after our walk around outside to warm us through. In addition, the shops are stocked with good quality reasonably priced merchandise, and the food in both the Live Music Bar and the Pavilion restaurant was tasty and good value for money. All in all the Enchanted Journey of light was a wonderfully memorable experience. Just brilliant!

If i had to summarise the show in just 1 word, I'm not sure if i should use the word Brilliant or Amazing. All the staff and performers were friendly, helpful and professional. The whole entertainment was of a very high quality. If you want to see a professional Variety Performance, definitely see this. It does have some Christmas themes to it but not all the way through so you are not overwhelmed by Christmas but just enough to enjoy the ambiance. Overall, definitely 5 Stars. My only disappointment is that it is so good that you have to book a year in advance otherwise it is completely fully booked.

This was our second time to Thursford and our families first time. We ate in the cafe before hand, lovely sandwiches and a great selection. Had a look around the shops which were very busy! We sat right at the front to the side this time and so glad we did. Everything about this show from start to finish was absolutely amazing, this show was certainly better than the one we’d seen previously a few years ago. Kev the comedian was just superb, we’d pay good money to see him do his own stand up, and I’ve told him so! Must say I was a bit shocked when I found him on social media and heard him speak…… If you haven’t been to see the show then you MUST!
