Herrington Country Park Sunderland reviews by real event-goers

Review of Monument Festival

toilets on campsite were shocking on arrival. no drinking water on campsite. poor sound for most of the music. will not be returning. Festival organisers obviously more interested in profit. Headline act pulling out and previous days event cancelled tells you everything.

Review of Kubix Alternative Festival

The Enemy won me over with this one! Loved them! It rained constantly but atmosphere was still good, love an outdoor stage. Crowd just got on with it despite the relentless downpour and wore their ponchos for the watching performances on outdoor stage which made for a great atmosphere. The stage outdoors was much better than the indoor tent stage, as it stank and surprised no one has gotten ill from being in there! Great vibe outside, flat atmosphere in tent.

Review of Monument Festival

Organisation was terrible of the toilets which left heavy queues. If more male urinals were available the queues would have been reduced is definitely one bit of advice to take away. Previous events held here had much better toilet organisation.
Also outdoor stages are much better than tents for a great atmosphere. We needed more entertainment for crowds between artists to keep the party atmosphere as it kept going flat rather quickly.

Review of Monument Festival

Poor venue and facilities. Should be offering partial refunds for the headliner cancelling last minute

Review of Monument Festival

The Kooks cancelled and it completely changed the timings.. bands came on adhoc it felt nothing their fault. Timings could’ve remained as they were and the festival just finished earlier. Inside the tents should’ve had more woodchip or something down to cover the mud.

I bought tickets for this last year but didn't go due to the fact there was such a shift in the music
The previous Kubix Festivals had a great indie/punk theme this year I'm afraid there was no act I wanted to see

Love Kubix/Monument. You always deliver some top quality acts. Tough one this year with the conditions but everybody still had an amazing time. Please go back to the main open stage for next year though, if possible. Kudos though for still another great day of music on my doorstep 🫶

Review of Monument Festival

Lots of technical problems and the place was a mud bath, cars were getting stuck getting in at the beginning. The kooks didn’t play which is the reason we travelled so that was disappointing, the fairground rides were overpriced and poor, the food and drink was very expensive for not the best quality. Great atmosphere but the huge quantity of chairs inside the main stage was annoying no stewards stopping people setting up camp making it harder to get in and out. And there should have been flooring down given how wets it been. We went 2 years ago and everything was better then!

Review of Monument Festival

Badly organised I’m afraid. The music was brilliant but the parking was awful! Everyone got stuck in the mud including me! I was on my own with two young girls and not being able to get home was a worry!!!
