The Sun has contacted the organisers of The tragic Willy Wonka experience A WILLY Wonka-inspired event in Glasgow hit headlines in February this year - but for all the wrong reasons. Families arrived at a near-empty warehouse after paying £35 for what was supposed to be an "immersive experience". Kids were given just a few jelly babies and a cup of limeade before it was all over in minutes. The experience was so bad, children were reduced to tears and police were called to the venue as angry parents gathered outside. Organiser Billy Coull was eventually forced to issue an apology for the "sheer and utter disappointment" blaming technical difficulties for the chaos. Hundreds of families had paid to see Willy's Chocolate Experience, which was due to take place over two days. But House of Illuminati - the firm behind the show - cancelled it mid-way through its first day. Parents slammed it as a "scam" - with some paying £65 for family tickets.

Parents were reportedly asked to cough up a whopping £58 for a family ticket admitting two adults and two children to the event. The event promised to offer "captivating hot air balloon displays, electrifying live music and a thrilling celebration of family fun, infectious rhythms and captivating performances."
