natjack Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 During the early part it's a family type event, after about 7.30 it gets a bit crowded and lairy. I'm not sure a 13 month old would get much fun out of it though. We usually park on Rockingham Street carpark always got in there ok. Or there's a big car park off Fitzwilliam Street.

Most people do get dressed up now, not just the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menz Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I would advise if you have a baby carrier to use that because it can get very busy and from past experience I can tell you it's a nightmare with a pushchair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksheff2 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Ive always taken my kids along, even as young as your little un and they absolutely love it. You just have to go early, thus avoiding the huge crowds. My 3 are getting excited about it already! Its a fantastic outing for them, espaecially with everyone being in costume. Brilliant.....but expensive!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princessjane Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 aww thanks ksheff i was abit worried about some of the comments about taking her as shes so young although i have no idea why?? she goes everywhere with me and enjoys everything as they do at that age lol we r not going for her as shes a bit young to really appreciate it but my sister is 14 and is up from cornwall for the week so im pretty sure she will! we will be going early as need to be back for 7 for her bedtime but if the others r having fun im sure they'll stay on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksheff2 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You'll all have a great time! The only grumble about it I've ever had, is that some gangs of older kids often have no regard what so ever for the young kids. They can be quite intimidating. Im not pulling all the teen groups down, most of them are there to have a fantastic night, but you do get the odd trouble makers. Thats why we go when it's still light and leave before it gets dark, (and before it gets too packed). P.S........ How lucky is your Sister???? Ask her to pack us lot in her suitcase when she goes back home to Cornwall!!!! The best place on earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
