Inverness Northern Meeting Park Inverness reviews by real event-goers

Review of The Gathering

Great family friendly festival, great music, food and cider!

Review of The Gathering

Catering was ridiculous for the no of people that were there. We stood for over an hour an a half to get fish an chips. Everybody we met were complaining. Also the drinks tent with music in it you weren't sure were people listening to the music or in the queue. Could be vastly improved.

Review of The Gathering

Amazing day, bands/music/atmosphere were all fantastic - highly recommend that this should become an annual event to celebrate in the Highlands .
Alcohol was overly-expensive which is disappointing that some businesses felt the need to rip-off people and the queues for the bars were long with no order apparent and waited well over an hour to get served - something to be addressed if the event takes place again.
Overall it really was a fantastic day and a credit to the organisers who arranged to have all these brilliant bands in the one venue.
Please organise again!

Review of The Gathering

Excellent venue with good music mix for the day... greater efficiency of food and beer sales would be an improvement plus a bit more seating area by food stalls.

Review of The Gathering

Brilliant day,beer tent q's bit much thirsty work ........hopefully on again next year and if it is we will be there

Review of The Gathering

Music: There seemed to be some issue with both sound quality and volume.
Venue: Bar queue stretched the from one side of the event to the other with queueing time to get served more than 30 minutes. Major issue with queue jumping with no security to prevent it. Food stalls run out of food. There were also no outlets for kids soft drinks etc.
Prices: Even more expensive than than major festivals.
Atmosphere: Practically zero. No dancing or laughing to be seen.

Review of The Gathering

Using and venue was amazing! Drinks were a good price.
However my phone as stolen at the festival and the staff had no idea where the lost and found was.

Great line-up!

Review of The Gathering

Peat and Diesel should have been on the main stage and the organisation of that was a shambles. Not enough stewards and security about the place. Due to not getting to see Peat and diesel was disappointed . Needed more food outlets and a bigger bar. Overall the festival was ok as music was good but better organisation next time (if there is a next time) will improve things. One stage is enough for the size of the event.

Review of The Gathering

Bar que was terribly slow with waits of up to near 2 hour to get a very poor selection of drinks, which were also overpriced.

The music and atmosphere were good.

Review of The Gathering

The queues for the bars were to slow moving at times. The music ,venue and atmosphere were great.

Review of The Gathering

great festival ,great atmosphere ,bar prices very high

Review of The Gathering

The secondary stage was a bit too small. Food choices whilst okay could have been better. Prices of food were okay but drink prices were high.

Some matting would have helped on the damp grass.

There were a lot of people who had clearly overindulged on alcohol and they were becoming a considerable annoyance by later in the day. The bar staff were happily serving alcohol to people who in a pub woud have been declined. A stronger police or stewarding presence would have helped.
