Suffolk's 'dreadful' Christmas spectacular

Available for over a year

A Christmas spectacular described as “just terrible” by “really upset” families has been compared to a disappointing Willy Wonka-inspired event that became a viral sensation. Christmas Spectacular Bury St Edmunds, promised an “unforgettable” festive extravaganza across four weekends in November and December. Ticket holders who went to the opening two days, however, said it failed to deliver - and one compared it to the Wonka-themed "experience" in Glasgow where posts of underwhelming displays got millions of hits. Matt Marvel discovers what families made of it all. (Picture credit - Christmas Spectacular BSE from Instagram)
