点评:I bought tickets online in advance to secure the time and date I wanted to go.
Upon arrival, I saw we had to pay for parking. I used the Ringgo website to pay, but had to clarify with staff that we were ok to stay beyond 9pm as our booking was for 8pm. They said they don’t change the timings on Ringgo for events but allow parking until they close.
The view of the hall upon our walk towards the event was stunning. Really beautiful. The trail was signposted well.
We purchased a hot chocolate for my partner who wanted to warm up a bit, £4 something for a small machine made drink, nothing special, but really small!
The staff were really helpful, offering to take photos on our phones when we’d queued up.
It got busy at certain points, I was a little surprised to see lots of small children at 8pm onwards but that’s ok. Only one family let their children push past everybody who was waiting their turn to pose for photos!
I noticed some of the lights weren’t working which was a shame. But overall the lights were beautiful, and the trail ends at the castle, which has a beautiful show projected onto the walls.
I bought a fridge magnet and a bauble for my Christmas tree. Shame there wasn’t a Christmas lights specific one but see my photos for what I got.
Overall, a worthwhile experience and some great photos.
翻译:我提前在网上买了票,确保能去到我想去的日期和时间。
到了之后,我发现停车要收费。我用Ringgo网站付了款,但还得跟工作人员确认一下,因为我们预订的是晚上8点,所以可以待到晚上9点以后。他们说Ringgo上不会更改活动时间,但允许停车到活动结束。
我们走向活动场地时,沿途的景色美极了,真的非常漂亮。指示牌也很清晰。
我给我的伴侣买了一杯热巧克力,他想暖暖身子,一小杯机器冲泡的就要4英镑多,没什么特别的,就是分量太少了!
工作人员非常热情,在我们排队的时候主动提出帮我们用手机拍照。
有些时候人比较多,晚上8点以后看到很多小孩让我有点意外,不过也还好。只有一家人让他们的孩子插队,挤过所有排队拍照的人!
我注意到有些灯不亮了,有点可惜。不过总体来说,灯光很漂亮,而且步道尽头是城堡,城堡墙上投影着精彩的灯光秀。
我买了一个冰箱贴和一个圣诞树装饰球。可惜没有专门的圣诞灯饰,不过你可以看看我的照片,里面有我买的东西。
总的来说,这是一次值得的体验,也拍了一些很棒的照片。
