The organisers of a botched Willy-Wonka-inspired experience in Glasgow have provided an update on refunds.
The experience took place at Box Hub Warehouse in the Whiteinch area of the city on Saturday, February 24.
The "immersive" experience was branded a failure by angry families who had forked out around £35 for tickets.
They were met by a sparsely decorated room including a few plastic props, a little bouncy castle, and small backdrops pinned to walls, with the police ultimately being called - and the event making headlines all around the world.

Previously, the much-memed company behind the event said that full refunds would be given to all attendees.
Now, the firm has provided an update on the refunds after 'concern' they haven't been received yet.
In a statement on social media, House of Illuminati said: "I've heard from some of you that there’s confusion and concern about refunds not being received from the Willys Chocolate Experience event.
"I want to clear the air and honestly say that yes, while some are still waiting, many have indeed received their refunds.
"I can’t say sorry enough for the inconvenience this has caused.
"The fallout from this event has been heart-wrenching. Not just the disappointment, but the real fear and worry from threats made to people not associated with the company and against the director.
"It’s been tough seeing the hurt these actions have caused.
"If you haven’t seen your refund yet, please check with your bank. They might be able to help sort this out faster.
"From the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry for the mess."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
