This was an absolutely fantastic show and excellent value for money. Run mainly by volunteers for this charity. You can park and ride or park on site. Lots of food stalls at reasonable prices. Take a seat cushion and wrap up warm/ take a raincoat. A must see. I would highly recommend. Lots of people around to guide you or give you information. Plenty of toilets and first aid if needed. Also gift shop. Well done to all concerned, blown away! · via Google [Joey Tamburello](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115272033144121106349/reviews) ★★★★★ Overall we had a great time, and it’s a memory we will remember for a long time. I look forward to seeing how the attraction evolves over time as it was superb. We arrived home at 1:30am, so from door to door it was around a 15 hour day, but it was absolutely worth it. I have so much respect for everyone down there volunteering. In the evening show, at times there must have been 150 to 200 people performing along with animals! The technology and dedication for the Archers on stage, back stage, in the shops and restaurants was Disney level and the scale of what they are doing is superb! · via Google [The Senior Cat](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113149822287437398305/reviews) ★★★★★ Fantastic day for the whole family. All the shows are great when there's loads of places to eat rest and things to look at in between them. It's a long day if you're doing back the day on the night show but it's worth it and there's plenty of time to rest. The time travellers feast is great fun but there are plenty of other places to eat selling everything from pizza to high quality burgers. It's quite a walk back to the main car park but there is a shuttle bus. If you do the evening show that will be slow however because quite a lot of people get out of the event all at once. If that's your plan it might be better to book early and book the nearest car park which is only 5 minutes away. That gets full quite quickly though. · via Google [Phil Slingsby](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106406329443889731806/reviews) ★★★★★ Absolutely awesome experience! If you don't want to get the bus, a short 10 minute walk can be done from the green car park instead, alternatively the other car parks are nearer. We only did the night show as that is all that was available when I booked, but the combo ticket is definitely what I would purchase next time. The food and drink was tasty and reasonably priced. The Viking village was great and the staff / actors were brilliant. The show was unreal and has to be seen to be believed. Definitely recommend visiting! · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487e82382d16dec9:0xfd5da72028ec1682!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this outdoor show offers a spectacular performance with impressive stunts, pyrotechnics, and special effects, along with engaging historical storytelling.
