Inverness Northern Meeting Park Inverness reviews by real event-goers

Review of The Gathering

Could have done with another bar as queues were huge

Review of The Gathering

The queues for food & drink were far too long. Drinks were far too expensive at £5 per shot. Portaloos were pretty clean though! 😊

Review of The Gathering

Fab day! Excellent bands and food choices. The bar was expensive, not much choice and the queueing system was terrible! Toilets were clean and staff friendly.

Review of The Gathering

Great festival, in particular for it's first year - was a definite success.

Only downside was the long queues for the bar but wasn't too bad considering how busy it was.

Review of The Gathering

Great prices of alcohol was a little expensive

Great day out

Review of The Gathering

Was a fantastic festival in a day. Prices were just a little steep for drink & not a lot of choice/options. Ran out of white wine. Ok prices on kids rides. Food prices were average.

Review of The Gathering

I enjoyed the music, the weather definitely helped. It’s a great venue, maybe just needs a few things re-arranged. Plenty of clean toilets. The bar needs to be bigger next time.

Dreadful queues for the bar and food, and ran out of so much including bottles of water 😢

Review of The Gathering

The bands and the music on offer at The Gathering were excellent - great to be showcasing Scottish Talent, particularly from Inverness/The Highlands. The bands kept their timetable really well and the changeover between groups was quick.
The price of the ticket was definitely justified with the music on offer. I would be happy to pay £45 again for a ticket.
The bars were not good - the queues for each were huge. We queued for nearly 40 minutes to get drinks. The queue for the main on stretched the entire way across the park. The prices were also quite expensive and some of the drink appeared to run out pretty quickly.
The queuing time was the same for the food outlets.
I would suggest that perhaps another big bar on the otherside of the grounds may help ease the pressure and speed up queue times.
Other than this, the event was well organsied. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope it's the start of many more to come?

Review of The Gathering

Long queues for most food and drink outlets but music excellent and ticket price good value.

Review of The Gathering

Qued an hour and a half for the bar another hour and a half for food. The situation in the tent where Pete and Diesel were meant to play was dangerous and frightening for kids. we had to leave, anybody that knows anything about Pete and Diesel knew before they even came on it was a dangerous situation, the stewards were overwhelmed and worried.
There was not enough food and drink venues for the amount of people there.
On a positive the toilets were very well maintained and the music was good but I would not go back

Review of The Gathering

Bar queue took an hour and a half to get served! The peat and diesel fiasco ruined for many. The hype surrounding this band should of predicted that the main stage was best and safest venue for them. Kids were devastated. Otherwise venue good but definitely need more bars people left as fed up waiting to get served

Review of The Gathering

Overall, a well ran one day festival of northern and Gaelic music. Food queues were long at times, but excellent quality. The festival tent needs some attention as serving drinks and having large picnic tables where acts performed did not work.

Review of The Gathering

The whole event was amazing! So well set up and great use of the space. The variety of music was amazing! Only criticism is the bar prices - £5 for a spirit and mixer is a little OTT. Maybe need to have a look at food etc too as queues were SO long! Spent an hour waiting for food for maybe have more stalls next year would help with this?

Review of The Gathering

This is great venue for events. Badly organised bar with ridiculous prices. Not enough bar staff or bar area for people. Will not buy tickets again although the bands were great. Badly organised

Review of The Gathering

Great venue and fantastic to have a festival in Inverness. Could do with finding a way to make the queues for toilets/food and drinks quicker.
