Booked for 11am with instructions to arrive early for your booking to check in and get skates etc. winterfest didn’t open until 11.04am. Headed straight to the ice rink and there is one young girl on by herself to take tickets and get skates, a security guard then helps her with skates. 11.08 and there is still no one on the ice skating. Was about 11.12 before we got on and there was still a massive queue behind us. There was no Marshall skating round to advise/ help people so was a mad free for all. The wooden barrister had skelfs the whole way round for those looking to hold on. Saw we had to leave rink at 11.45am which is fair enough but as we were all on late was a bit miffed and then a Marshall came on at 11.40 to get us all off the rink. Rink completely emptied by 11.46 am. We were lucky as we got to skate more than others but feels like a totally rip off. Had been last year and enjoyed but if you do this again next year I would highly advise having booking start at 11.30 if winterfest only opens at 11 to avoid this from happening again. But surely this would have been thought through especially with us being told to arrive early when booking. Really really disappointed this year.

Way too many people on at a time and ice not very well maintained so skating was pretty difficult
