The Nutcracker at Mottisfont is very popular. Sure, you will have queues when over 2,765 people visit in one day with timed tickets.
When I was at the entrance door as a volunteer, it was run perfectly well, with everyone passing into the house in an orderly fashion. Buggies and drinks were left outside. People were happily enjoying their visit.
Sadly, it seems the Hampshire Chronicle has hit on one of the only negative visitors (Mottisfont ticketing chaos criticised by Hampshire man, December 23).
If you volunteer like I do for the Trust and a heritage railway you see and deal with all situations successfully.
Visit Mottisfont you will be very welcome.
Happy Christmas and a successful New Year to all the staff and volunteers at Mottisfont.
As they say in my home county UTB (Up the Boro).
