You can't beat a bit of festive 'Ho-Ho-Ho'. Apparently, Bangor, Northern Ireland, Winter Wonderland was so awful the operation has been closed down and money refunded to anyone who attended the event at the weekend or was intending to visit.
People complained about the ice rink, which was made of plastic, smelling of chlorine. Which was hardly surprising when it was discovered that bleach was poured onto the surface to make it 'more slippery'.
Father Christmas somewhat burst the magic Christmas bubble with his painted-on eyebrows. If this wasn't bad enough, he needed to pull down his beard to speak to the children. One little girl wondering "Why can I see the elastic on Santa's beard?" The more worldly hardened of the children slicing through the magic of Santa Claus by shouting "He isn't even real!"
There were no stalls open. And the inflatable castle lay flaccid, as airless as the whole experience.
One visitor likened it to 'Craggy Island Funfair', but without the fun, or the fair.
