What our visitors say

Read comments from previous visitors to our famous Christmas Spectacular show

Out of this world

“This is the first time I have arrived after dark and it is magical. Lights of all different colours lighting the whole area.
Our first stop was Fantasy Land. Which truly lived up to the name. Hundreds of animated animals, lots of colour, ice and decorations. Also old farm machinery all blending in. A show every half hour and of course the journey to the Grotto. Wonderful things to see every step of the way. The gifts to the children were worth the entrance fee. A quick snack and wonder around the beautiful gift shops before the Spectacular started. What a show. As good as anything you would see in London. Some 130 performers, music, dancing, juggling, Piper’s, comedian orchestra and lots more with of course the Mighty Wurlitzer. Two and a half hours slick entertainment for all ages. One wonderful night and a great run up to Christmas.”

Brilliant!

“People have raved for years about the Thursford Christmas Show and it’s always been a case of “only old people like this kind of stuff”, and to a certain extent it’s true. Teenage “banging” hipsters will think they have suddenly been transported to the West End in December at the Sunday Palladium. And shouldn’t they be grateful for that!
From the moment you pass Fakenham, the lasers in the night sky warn you that this is no Sunday newspapers horror story about cheap Winter Wonderland, but the promise of a magical experience you won’t forget. From trees wrapped in lights, to animatronic wolves, an old fashioned village for those still wanting that last minute present, to the actual show itself. It’s huge! There truly is no other way to describe it. It’s so big that a full blown fairground carousel fits neatly in one corner. The singing, dancing, instrument playing and comedy is straight out of London. The whole area is decorated like Santa’s grotto on Christmas Day and the fun doesn’t stop.
No wonder they come from all over the UK and many return every year. If you long for a bit of ‘old fashioned’ but never fuddy duddy entertainment, book now. We booked in March and it was nearly sold out.
