Inverness Northern Meeting Park Inverness reviews by real event-goers

Review of The Gathering

Great day out. Lots for all the family. I think the atmosphere would have been improved if the queues were less, as I think it took a lot of people away from the main stage during the day.

Review of The Gathering

Good day out with great musicians. Very convenient location.

Review of The Gathering

Brilliant concert but not enough food or drink stalls. Spent a lot of time queuing

Review of The Gathering

Very easy, accessible venue. Mix of music acts etc good. Acoustic acts would have been better in a separate tent. Good choice of eating outlets. Bar situation not good. Waited hour and a half in a queue then gave up. Only had non alcoholic drinks from the food outlets.

Review of The Gathering

Very enjoyable festival! Music first class and atmosphere very good. Only criticism was the length of time waiting at the bar and for food. Over and hour waiting for a drink to be told there was no beer left.

Saying that, would definitely return!

Review of The Gathering

Prices far too expensive .Long queue's for the drinks( one and half hours ) long queue's for the toilets .

Review of The Gathering

Great event and venue

Review of The Gathering

Great event in a great location. Need more bar facilities instead of queueing across the whole arena!

Review of The Gathering

Great festival, could have done with a better system for drinks, or have more vendors, queue was horrendous!

Review of The Gathering

Decent line up. However having to wait 45 mins in the bar queue and even longer in the food queue doesn't lend well to actually enjoying the acts. Left with 3 bands to go as were hungry and not prepared to take the vantage point of the other side of the venue on a queue for them.

Review of The Gathering

Drink price far to high and not big enough had to wait over an hour to get served

Review of The Gathering

Loved it except for the long queues for food.We waited for nearly an hour for a crab burger at the Red Shank stall so perhaps you need to think about more catering next time. Also more tables to sit down and eat at would be good. Otherwise a great festival and thanks to all for organising.

Review of The Gathering

More bar staff required to help with ques.

Review of The Gathering

Relaxed atmosphere, great variety of music. Queues were long at times, but at least the weather was good and you could hear and see the bands on stage from everywhere. Enjoyed the side-programme in the tent (Under Canvas) too, esp. the Gaelic music. A bit more Gaelic in general, on the main stage and around, and still going on in the evening, would have been good. Shame about Peat & Diesel being cut so short.

Review of The Gathering

It would be amazing if it could be no smoking. More food vans.
We had a fantastic time. My sons aged 10 and 12 loved it.

Review of The Gathering

Had a great day, good atmosphere food very good quality kids rides a bit pricey

Review of The Gathering

Would rethink bar, as the queues were ridiculous. More food vendors as also queues for these very lengthy and average of 40 min waiting time .

Review of The Gathering

Great family festival with a lovely atmosphere and great music

Review of The Gathering

The queue's to the beer tents could have had more lanes at them to quicken the service..!!
Or more beer tents for that ammount of people and a few more seats and tables for the elderly to have a wee dram and a bite to eat.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day's entertainment..!!

Review of The Gathering

I would highly recommend The Gathering. I think it’s the first festival we have went to that we didn’t feel wripped of by over priced drink, food and merchandise. The food that we had was amazing we would of used the bar but the que at both bars were ridiculous . This did not spoil our day in anyway but would be something to improve . There were voulanters going around all day picking up litter. I felt it was well organised. The music was great every band put on a great performance we would definitely go again.
