Instead of floating down a river of chocolate, parents found themselves in a warehouse that did not match the picture that advertised the event - at a cost of £35 a ticket.

Michael Archibald, the actor that portrayed Willy Wonka at the event, expected theatre play. “It was supposed to be this land of imagination and to my surprise it was not. There was no notice on how many Wonkas there would be. It was supposed to be a land of wonders.”

Michael claim to have not been paid - nor it is claimed have the prop managers who worked 12 hour shifts for three days straight.

“They’ve cut contact with all the actors, we have no emails or phone numbers.”

Alana Lockens, a disappointed parent, says it “wasn’t the immersive experience described on the website - and there was no chocolate.”

“I’m devastated on his behalf. My son has autism, so we tried to keep the smiles and make it as happy as we could. It could have resulted in a complete meltdown.”

Billy Coull, the Director of the House of Illuminati and the brains behind this affair says: “I’m sorry to everyone for this disappointment, we tried to give you the best time we could but I am deeply disappointed”.

“No chocolate, one woman and some stairs - that’s evidently worth £35 quid,” says Jeremy Kyle.
