Too many tickets sold and vendors could not keep up with demand. Queues of up to an hour for most food. No water or handwashing stations

We bought the evening ticket and half of the traders were closed, and many had ran out of items.
Tickets should be reduced more significantly if this is the case or traders should be prepared to have enough stock to run into the evenings
Outside of this the entertaintment and the traders that were open were great.

Just huge queues for everything. Can go to those restaurants and not pay for the privilege of being outside or eating portions out of cardboard. Nice idea but not for me

Queues far too long for every food stand (I waited 40 mins in one of the shorter queues) which meant you couldn't try multiple outlets. Left hungry. Event bar was much better set up. Great soul band playing on Saturday late afternoon.

We arrived at about 12:30 with a view to spend the afternoon there. It got busy very quickly. The quality of the stalls and offerings met our expectations but it was very crowded and we ruled out most options due to the queues. The shaded areas were very well put together but were also sadly rather lacking. Additionally, the music, although enjoyable, was loud and there weren't many places to retreat to. The c**ktail bar often sounded like it was competing with the main stage. When I saw an event advertised at the downs, I pictured something about double the size of the entire event and a lot more space for me and my friends to roam and relax. Eventually we got too hot and aware of the crowds so we headed to white ladies road where we sadly topped up on bakery food to fill a hole.

They ran out of food at 5pm on Saturday night, I can only feel even more sorry for the people that paid entrance to a food festival and 7pm entry. The stalls were closed up or closing. I'm sure they had a long day, but we paid to go, and had a dry burger without even cheese on it. Poor effort and could have had more food just going somewhere else. There was no live music for 2.5 hours, it was listed.
