Is Kenwood at Christmas worth it?

[Crunchymum]

Over £100 for all of us.

No tickets available for Kew.

Is it worth the money? Kids are 10, 8 and 5.

Thanks 😊

We went last year and quite enjoyed it (although the queues to get drinks were massive). The light displays are pretty impressive and my 3 year old was entranced. That said, we're not going back this year but my tolerance for pretty lights is quite low.

Not very good this year. Will not be going next year based on last nights experience.

Is it worse than last year then? We all went twice last year and thought it was amazing. Was thinking of booking again but won’t if it’s not as good.

Personally regretted going. Last year everything from the lining up to the quality of the lighting inside to the quality of food/drinks was much better. We arrived and were in the line with people who were supposed to be there after us yet no one was checking this and so the line was much longer that it should have been. The illumination on the house itself was nothing other than snowflakes whereas last year you had a lovely story illuminated which was so charming. Drinks and food were lukewarm for the price you were paying. Last year despite the rain we had on the day it seemed so magical this year the experience was poor from the get go.

Really helpful @DomPom47 , thank you. That’s £100 saved! 👍
