Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

This first time event was really enjoyable. The layout could have been better with the stage perhaps at the end of the grassy area where most people were seated. It was a long event 2-11 and would have been better if we were able to take in a picnic. The mix of music was eclectic and appealed to a broad range of the public.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Great little outdoor venue, compact stage and viewing area, sound and lighting well done. Outside of the stage area had lots of room to sit or stand, tasty food at reasonable prices and good toilet facilities.

For the first event like this it was pretty good.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Couldn't hear the music from the bar or when sitting on the grass, toilet queue was massive and in total darkness in the evening. Only one food vender for around 1000 people was horrendous, again queues were huge.
Not being able to leave and come back wasn't great, we were given bands on entry so don't know what was stopping us leaving and coming back. It was absolutely freezing in the evening and we ended up leaving to get some warm clothes on. Had we been able to come back afterwards we would have.
One positive I would give is the pink haired lady who was keeping the toilets clean and topped up with toilet roll did an amazing job!

The security and gate/ticket staff were a bit abrupt & not welcoming, but the venue and artists were really good. The groups kept the music going and it was a fun party atmosphere.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Enjoyed the event but venue small and could have been better laid out eg stage on the grassy area with views from camping chairs and move the marquee to where the stage was. The Rollers were ace.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Stage was not beside seating area

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Maybe if the stage was where the tent was,and the tent alone the side on to castle street would of given more standing room front of stage and plenty room for deck chairs ect apart from that it was fantastic day ,great venue with the view of the bay and Macduff

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

The stage was awkward, would be better with the stage out where the bar & seating was.
Need more bins around the seating area.
The bar didn't have wine.
Maybe a few more ladies toilets, however if you timed it right it was fine.
Disappointed with the bay city rollers as they didn't really cover their music until near the end.
The weather made it, not sure how it would have been if it rained but could sell ponchos 🤣

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Excellent day. Could have been better set up with courtyard used for food and drinks and whre the food was for the actual seating/ standing areas. There was a lack of bins also may have been best placed in and around seating areas. Toilet staff excellent and kept on top on cleanliness and toilet roll just a bit dark once daylight disappeared and needed one way in one way out. So nobody jumping queues. Good selection of music and high qulaity acts. Great day.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Could possibly use an extra caterer shop as had to que for longer than usual . Toilets could be better organised but apart from that the venue was fantastic

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Too many people in courtyard. More security, more waste bins beneficial

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Excellent day out with fantastic music. Entertainment area was a bit tight but appreciate the challenges of the space.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Stage area and seating area could have been switched , actually created a wind tunnel and people who weren't able to stand and watch show couldn't hear properly as sitting away from stage .

First time for organising but could improve , listen to your feed back it's from the locals who would love to support and attend again. This is the kind of thing banff needs.

Missed out if setting the stage over looking banff bay, could you imagine the photo ops with crowd and banff bay in back ground .

Also I had a disabled partner who uses walking stick but had to pack up seat but others were allowed to stay as they had lanyard or they looked disabled , or weren't even asked to move, this upset my partner and he wished to leave as thought very unfair and others around couldn't believe he was asked to move.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Area too small, not large enough to accommodate the many chairs that the locals seem to bring with them. Only 2 food stalls. Weather cooled down quickly and then there wasn't enough space in the tent. The day was nice but soon it was freezing. Everybody was cold and looked it. So maybe some more space and more weather protection would be welcome. The stage should have backed the seaview. The Foodcourt where the stage now was and expand seating area from right at the Street side gate. Music was fab.

Review of Banff Castle Rocks

Great day out and very good value for money, but stage area a bit small, and food choices no use if you have dietary requirements.
