This is my second time here this year it's very different from the first but it is so magical and wonderful my 5 year old and 2 year old was in absolute awe with everything they saw ! It is quite pricey ! The funfair was 24 for 20 tokens and most of them are 2 tokens each my 2 year old needed an adult assisting him on most of them too which ment that's 6 tokens on 1 ride , they had a outside grill vendor so there was burgers and hotdogs on offer there was a hot chocolate vendor too which was yummy!! There is a indoor cafe plus a hot food pavilion too. There is a corner shop I didn't enter so

Such a wonderful experience. This is our second visit in about 15 years. The choir, dancers and singers are fantastic and the comedian, acrobats and jugglers made this an unforgettable variety performance only eclipsed by the decorations

Went to the Magical journey of light and it didn't disappoint. We went with our 3 children (11,6 &2) and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The lights outside were amazing and my favourite part. The walk through inside was magical, the children enjoyed looking at all the characters. Cafe was nice with plenty of space. Vintage funfair was cute don't forget your pennies for the tokens for the rides. Food and drink also outside. Will definitely go again next year.

Great evening out to get into the festive mood! Our 17 month old had a look of awe glued to his face for the whole night. We only did the magical journey as we felt he would not have the attention span for the spectacular show, but it was still a lovely experience and we will definitely be going again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Thursford with our little man. The theming of both the indoor and outdoor areas were incredible and provided an awesome sensory experience. There was also rides for the little man to enjoy and various places to stop of for refreshments. We will definitely be visiting again next year

Thursford spectacular..... What can I say......wow wow wow wow. Worth every penny!
Booked this for my birthday treat, heard it was good but no it was amazing, the acts, singers, dancers, decorations and lights all amazing. We didn't book the enchanted walk but got tickets when we got there. We loved walking around and could have spent longer there. We were at the evening performance so it was dark...and cold outside. There are plenty of guides to let you know where to go and answer any questions. We didn't eat or drink there but there are places to do so and able to get mini tubs of ice cream
