It’s our annual tradition and yearly thing to do, visit Drayton for their end of season fireworks. We hope you enjoy this blog and would love to know if you also visited and your opinions.
Unfortunately we didn’t have the best of starts or experiences within what once was our favourite restaurant. Our actual waitress was genuinely so lovely and couldn’t do anymore for us. However the women serving us couldn’t of been anymore opposite unfortunately. Our food wasn’t the best neither but deserts were top quality. It’s a restaurant we once swore by however now we will definitely visit a little less.
Something which Drayton Manor in more recent years have nailed is atmosphere. There’s always such a feel good vibe during a normal day and even more so during the evening. The normal music (as in the charts etc) does genuinely make the biggest difference possible in comparison to themed music. Maybe that’s an unpopular opinion but it’s not often we really enjoy “theme park music”.
The theme was Space/50th anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing. It’s not necessarily a theme which we love or anything were interested in neither. However they done an amazing job at allowing everybody enjoy this theme. Personally we definitely preferred the Best of British theme last year.
As always a fab display put on with some real cute touches. The fake moon by Shockwave is one of the sweetest touches we’ve seen for a firework display yet. As always the timing between fireworks & Audio was on point. There’s so many adorable little nods to the likes of Wallace & Gromit etc. But a truly beautiful firework display.
Our day didn’t go to plan that much given the fact we lost our vouchers, had an ordeal in the Grill Inn etc. But as for the park operations perhaps not at their best but this is a more reoccurring pattern unfortunately which hopefully will get better in the upcoming few years. Other than that though absolutely lovely little day out. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks and can’t wait for next seasons.
