Cattows Firework Disaster

Saturday night fireworks were an absolute joke the whole event should have been cancelled The simple reason it wasn t was so the organiser could cream their big profit along with Cattows They should be totally ashamed for the appalling debacle It would be nice to see an offer of a refund DON T HOLD YOUR BREATH

Terrible customer service

I ve just booked tickets for Halloween farm I put in all the discount codes and the price is as shown correctly next page paid etc But upon checking my account I ve been charged the full price Then checking my tickets I ve been charged for some tickets that I had previously removed I contacted the sales team who say they will not refund me I am disgusted by this sales attitude especially as this was some type of computer error and not my own fault

Do not waste your money a

Do not waste your money at this Halloween event We paid 5 each to enter a fun fair Came two years ago and was great now it s just a rip off Trick or treat street 9 each so for us with two children 36 for a few sweets and a 10 minute experience of dry ice and a few flappy black curtains Worse still was the bouncy castle area Again 9 and children walking round in soaking wet socks as they were not allowed to take them off We were given an hour slot and were out in twenty minutes as half of the inflatables were only suitable for under five s The weather was nobodies fault but provision should have been made to keep Children s feet dry It was a quagmire The pumpkin area was also a mud bath with only one price board for prices and pumpkins up to 8-50 get one from Tesco or Asda for 2-3 The only enjoyable event was the Circus 10 each for 45 minutes -The afternoon cost over 120 for two adults and 2 children not including the fun fair What a rip off Commercialisation at its worst Save your money

Don t waste your money

This was our first and last visit to Cattows Farm Halloween event Despite the expensive prices it promised to be a fun packed day so felt it would be worth it All of the Facebook reviews were positive We managed to get into the park an hour past our booked arrival time due to the volume of traffic trying to enter the farm We went as a family of 5 and paid 10 50 each to enter fantasy land Here we enjoyed 3 games of crazy golf Next we queued for an hour and a half for trick or treat street which was highly disappointing We were rushed past around 4 doors where the kids could a collect a lolly each but my children didn t even get an opportunity to knock on a door due to the amount of people being pushed though at once We managed to get onto the haunted train at the end of the day which was laughable It cost nearly 50 to do a loop of a corn field with a small make shift tunnel stuffed with various props and dry ice We didn t even manage to pick ourselves a pumpkin as the day was spent queuing It certainly felt like money was all that this place cared about Nobody seem to have any interest in whether the customers were going to enjoy the experience My advice would be to spend your money elsewhere this was certainly not worth the prices charged

Halloween farm at Cattows

Halloween farm at Cattows If you re wondering whether to book this half term but put off by the reviews then rest assured it really is as bad as they say Complete rip off dont really know where to start trick or treat street baring in mind the adults have to pay full price adults are not allowed to take any sweets There are 4 doors to knock on and it was so chaotic and unorganised with so many children going through that the doors were always open so none ever got to knock Which was very upsetting for my child and on the forth door there wasn t even an actor no one there just a few sweets on the floor to pick up Fantasy land Dino and mini golf full of 30 year old broken equipment no staff to interact with - dreadful The animal farm is a joke and the park is poorBut the train ride is the worst - a 6 min lap of a corn field with broken statues and content such as an axe man with a pig mask cutting up a body in a bath This is not suitable for a young family with young children even my poor lad who likes to get the best out of everything was absolutely heartbroken after many weeks of excited anticipation 3 of the main payable attractions done in less than 40 mins - you only need 2 hours tops at this event to do everything if you do go My only mistake was not reading the reviews before I booked I cannot believe that trading standards have not got a hold of this place- and shut it down

Fraud attempt be aware

Burger lady from one of the food booths copied my card details when I paid by phone Monday after we visited there was a fraudulent transaction attempted in Italy on my account Apart from that the food was shockingly disgusting so please take your own Don t give these bastards a chance to take advantage of you and your hard earned money

Avoid

We attended the event on Sunday Oct 27th which was more than disappointing As loyal visitors in previous years we were really looking forward to another enjoyable day but unfortunately that wasn t the case The entry process was frustrating with over an hour spent stuck in traffic leading us to arrive at 1 30 PM Our arrival time was 12pm We were eager to check out the haunted railway but the line was already over an hour long after asking a staff member how long it would take to queue We ultimately had to skip it which left our children very upset After grabbing our pumpkins we decided to leave at 4PM but we faced more traffic getting out as we were parked at the back of the lot It turned into another long wait which added to our frustration Your website mentions a smooth and stress free arrival and departure experience but sadly that was not our reality Unfortunately nothing was stress-free about it It was very dangerous with cars trying to get in front of one another There were no parking attendants in sight helping manage the exit however there were 5 stood chatting further down It felt like the event was oversold despite the encouragement to book early to avoid missing out I tried asking for a refund on the haunted express but they said no Will not be returning and urge everyone not to visit
