It was worth every penny

My girls were in awe the whole time, their faces throughout it all is something I will remember forever! The attention to detail to the film was amazing, Santa who came on to our carriage was incredible and the actors were so good and interactive. Yes it was expensive but it was worth every penny and I’d definitely recommend. - Nicola A D, January 2025
