点评:Westonbirt always does funky things around Halloween / Christmas time but this year was beyond belief.
The lights and Christmas experience was just utterly spellbounding and, without exaggeration, the best I've been to. Not just for Westonbirt but anywhere. There was a large group of us, some of us with kids, and we were all enraptured as each section tried to outdo the next. The cold air felt warm. Everybody around looked happy and charmed.
Pictures can't do the mystique of the thing justice. They have a customer for next year's celebration for sure.
However, nothing is perfect and we were all surprised by one thing which threatened to mar it. The guy charging the marshmallows, it was £7 for three tiny things to toast. There's pricey and there's an extortionate rip off. We went to a similar celebration elsewhere with similar toasting and sticky station and they were £3.50 for three. That's still overpriced actually, but perfectly reasonable for the experience. If charging that high was a Westonbirt decision, please rethink the charge for toasting them for next year from PoV of being kinder to your patrons with children as it's just not affordable after price of entry and blowing £70 on the also overpriced burger vans. If you have two kids that's another £14 for six marshmallows with a bit of sprinkles and toasting. That was the only thing I could fault though.
I don't want to be unjolly about it all though. It was still magical, romantic, fun, intruiging and wonderful and hopefully people upload pictures to do it justice. If you get a chance, please, please go. And if you get a chance to just see plain vanilla Westonbirt, do. It does a great job and it's a perfect walking destination.
翻译:韦斯顿伯特镇每年万圣节/圣诞节期间都会举办一些别出心裁的活动,但今年的简直令人难以置信。
灯光和圣诞氛围营造得非常迷人,毫不夸张地说,这是我参加过的最棒的活动。不仅在韦斯顿伯特镇,甚至在任何地方都是如此。我们一行人很多,其中一些人还带着孩子,每个人都被眼前的景象深深吸引,每个环节都力求超越前一个。寒冷的空气仿佛都变得温暖起来。周围的人都看起来开心又迷人。
照片根本无法展现它的魅力。明年我肯定还会来参加。
然而,世事无完美,有一件事让我们感到意外,差点破坏了整体体验。卖棉花糖的人竟然要价7英镑,就三个小小的棉花糖,用来烤棉花糖。这价格有贵的,也有敲诈勒索的。我们之前在别的地方参加过类似的庆祝活动,也有类似的烤棉花糖和粘稠棉花糖摊位,三个才3.5英镑。虽然这个价格也算贵,但考虑到整体体验,还是可以接受的。如果韦斯顿伯特公园决定收取如此高昂的费用,请从体谅带孩子的游客的角度考虑一下明年烤棉花糖的费用,因为门票加上70英镑的汉堡餐车费用,实在难以承受。如果你有两个孩子,那就还要再花14英镑买六个棉花糖,撒点糖屑,再烤一下。不过,这大概是我唯一不满的地方了。
但我不想全盘否定。它依然充满魔力、浪漫、乐趣、引人入胜、精彩绝伦,希望大家能上传照片,真实展现它的魅力。如果你有机会,请务必去看看。即使你只是去看看普通的韦斯顿伯特公园,也别错过。它办得非常棒,而且是完美的步行目的地。
