Ah. This sounds just like the "winter wonderland" event a few years ago.

Same modus operandi only that was in a field by the side of a main road in a scruffy part of The New Forest.

The organisers wound up in court, lost and, totally unsurprisingly, seems to have 'lost' the money so no refunds for the marks iirc.

I guess it's been a while so someone decided to rinse and repeat.
