Oh my God!!

I do have a feeling by everyones posts that it may be the 'travellers' as some say.
I mean you say you pay to get in , but then you cant see santa , rides , food everything costs. So your left with nothing just to walk past the gate into the park costs you £25-£30! Disgusting! I hope you all get your money back and bring Newforest Laplan down!

Got this info from a facebook group!

The BBC are investigating this story. please take the time to send and stories/comments/photos/videos etc to sarah-jane.bungay@bbc.co.uk The more people that contact them the better and hopefully we'll be able to get some money back! Thanks

Yeah, simply put, it was a travelling fairground tarted up a bit for Christmas.

It was like they done everything last minute! I'm so annoyed by it all, most of all because I was really looking forward to seeing my Nephew's faces when they got there... But they were as confused and disappointed as I were.
Infact, the highlight of their day was pulling the fake paper snow off the trees throwing it at each other! Atleast they managed to amuse themselves

I was called at 10am this morning by friend/neighbour to come round for a coffee, I was rather confused by their sudden invite. They had been to Lapland New Forest yesterday and wanted to worn me how bad it was, as we are supposed to be going on the 19th. I thought my friend was joking, but when I saw the look on her face I knew it was no joke. She showed me footage of the park.....what a disgrace. My friend had not slept all night because of the upset and worring about telling me. Her little girl was crying, her mum had dragged herself out of bed with flu to go and they were faced with no more than a fair ground.
I am so upset....It took me ages to convince my husband to part with £100 that we can't really afford and we won't even have the memories now!

Tried phoning to get our money back (well you've got to try!) to be told the manager will phone you back.
If anyone has any advice on getting money back from credit card...would be great.
Thinking of you all.

Could you get this footage on youtube maybe?

I recently attended "Santa's amazing snow-covered Lapland village, near Bournemouth", with my girlfriend having been assured my the lovely receptionist on the phone that this wasn't just an experience for children, although I expected the opposite. Never the less we went along on a drizzly sunday expecting to have a nice day, I ordered tickets online (a confusing process on this occasion) at the bargain price of £60 for the two of us, it was my treat because im nice like that ; )



What we encountered when we arrived was the most tacky, embarrasingly cheap array of circus equipment, hotdog vans etc accompanied by fluorescent hi-vis jacket wearing security staff freezing their collective nuts off. Despite this, I thought, no..give it a chance, were here now it might get better, besides weve come all the way from Weymouth and it looked really good on the website!



So on we optimistically plodded through the muddy, rubbish strewn track overhearing the damning comments of parents who had quite frankly been fleeced by someone who obviously has no problem ripping people off in this, the season of good will.



I would've been so dissapointed if i had taken children there, they could've had a better time in a pub playpark. We stayed for an hour and then got fed up and made our way out on the pottholed road almost wrecking my car. whoever put this together should be ashamed of themselves and my advice to anyone thinking of going is to save up an extra couple of hundred quid and go somewhere with real snow.



good luck

sure...my husband has gone for the camera now. Hopefully will be on soon.

My husband and I, spent the money that we would have spent on each other for christmas on Lapland New Forest. Happy Christmas hubby!!!! wish I had a bottle of perfume now!

Will u put it on here?

Wow, its serious then. Can't believe how tacky it looks. Poor kids, must be so disappointed. Hope you guys get some kinda refund!
