The Oval (Hastings) Hastings reviews by real event-goers

Review of Boogie By The Sea

I loved the event especially Sister Sledge and Billy Ocean. Great line up but missed most of Boney M and sound issues on SoulIISoul. Danced all night at back of event as nearer front cramped and hazardous with chairs (and tall people!) in the way. Long queue to get in and for food which was very expensive and dodgy burgers. Very difficult to get answers to questions about disabled access, bringing camping chairs etc would have liked a contact no, email or live chat as faqs on Facebook did not cover anything about this. I'd definitely go again tho overall a brilliant night!

I attended a music events, and found the queues for for very long, and as I was very hungry I decided to queue, which took roughly an hour and a half to actually get food. This lead to me missing one of the acts entire session. So based on that I would not recommend this venue to anyone.

Review of Boogie By The Sea

The queue to enter the venue was unacceptable taking an hour and a half to get in, there were only two people checking tickets which was absolute madness. Drinks and food were overpriced. The music was its saving grace. Would I recommend? Yes for the music, but definitely not for the queuing and the pricing of food and drinks.

Review of Boogie By The Sea

You should have had more than one entrance, waited in very long queue for 45mins to get in. Once in fine, until friend decided she wanted something to eat, queued for over 2hours! You Need more food outlets. Bought a bottle of Rose £29!! tasted like petrol, please if you are going to over charge for a bottle of wine, get a semi decent one in stock, you will still make a profit! and there are good ones for £8 and you will still make a decent profit. Plenty of toilets so this was the only place we didn't have to queue. So all in all i was at the concert for 6 hours, and spent 3 hours of it queueing. Wouldn't go again.

Review of Boogie By The Sea

The venue is actually great as I've been to other events here but we queued for a considerable amount of time to get in and missed the first act. The second and third acts were cut short to make up the time that was lost trying to get everyone in to the venue. I also queued over an hour for food and couldn't see one of the acts because of it. The bar queue moved very quickly but in my opinion there were not enough food trucks to cope with the number of people and this really spoiled it for me.

Review of Boogie By The Sea

Atmosphere was great. A little bit too much time lapse between artists. Very pricey for drinks. No need to charge such high prices. More coffee tea stalls required. Not everyone wants cold or alcoholic drinks.

Great day, except toilets which after day one are not very nice they don't even flush.
