Review of Monument Festival

kooks cancelled on the day of the event - absolutely crap will not be buying a ticket again!

Review of Monument Festival

Prefer not to have big tents, whole point is to sit and picnic, being able to see stage from where sat, not have to go in to an 'indoor' tent which was just a muddy bog. Bought early bird tickets, wouldn't have bothered if had seen line up, not impressive, then the main band didn't even show up!! Have been coming a few years, not intending to again, very disappointed

Review of Monument Festival

Main event cancelling on the day is shocking, the kooks was the only reason a lot booked tickets

Review of Monument Festival

Headliners cancelled and many people left which affected the atmosphere. Refunds were not offered. That aside the venue smelt badly of s**t. I was at kubix (same venue) last week and had a great time but at monument the whole place just stunk. Spoiled the already poor atmosphere. Real shame, because the artists that were on were fab.

The toilets were disgusting very early on and not enough of them. Nothing had been done about the ground inside the tents from the previous week. Prices were thrythe roof for everything.

So disappointed with the day. Little atmosphere and the cancellation of the headline act made the decision to go home fairly easy. I booked for the Kooks really.

Review of Monument Festival

Would have scored higher on venue, but for the state of the toilets.

Review of Monument Festival

Disappointed this year, toilets were awful, inside of the tents were a lot worse for mud than the outside, not accessible for wheelchair users at all, no boards down in the second stage tent, very few wood chippings. Line up wasn't as good as previous years and the headliners cancelled on the day (of course this is out of the organisers control). Just nowhere near as well set up as previous years. Will think twice about booking early next year

Great setup for two stages did well even with the poor weather conditions, toilets only let down

Review of Monument Festival

The Kooks cancelled with no notice from the event organiser. The stage times were changed round which meant we had to hang around to watch a band we didn't really want to see. Not enough toilets. Drink prices were expensive (and warm)

It's been much better previous years

Review of Monument Festival

The day was fun, but I have to be honest. The venue was not fit for purpose - not enough toilets, ground could have been maintained in music tents with sawdust or hay to avoid mud puddles in front of the stage. Due to limited toilets the place smelt and was unsanitary. The kooks cancelled, however they did manage to shuffle artists around. Drinks and food were not badly priced.

Review of Monument Festival

Overall a good one day event, however, there were issues with not enough toilets and the ground was still very muddy from the week before. It would have been helpful if the organisers had put straw down near the tent entrances. It was very slippy getting in and out of the tents.
Between the mud in the tents and the long toilet queues we left early.
But we will go next year because we meet up with old friends on this weekend
