I was not able to attend with my disabled son, as he was ill. I've tried to get refund as I paid the fee for not attending, still unable to.

Would have liked some bland food, too much spice for me. Couldn't find any red wine at the bars.

This wasn't a good festival but just another Leicester event. Like the Riverside festival it just seems a reason to play music and sell drinks.
Thankfully no-one disabled in our party as we saw someone else being sent to A gate a long way round with a wheelchair.
Ticket pricing seemed random, although pleased that an early bird option.
Hinckley and Melton do much better festivals of food.

You're just paying an entrance fee to gain access to food stalls that you then spend more money on. Was hoping for more traders to buy artisan stuff from. Disappointing.

Unfortunately there seemed to be long queues and lots of food sold out on the Saturday only hours into the festival. A number of stalls had already closed by around 5pm. I have spoken to people who attended the Sunday and they said this did not repeat so I can only assume it was a learning process or the Saturday was overly busy as all the stands remained stocked and queues were minimal. If the whole options would have been available when I was there I would have no grumbles but it was a bit unprofessional to have so much unavailable 5 hours into the two day festival.

Overall I enjoyed the experience of the Leicester Food Festival however, the was one major issue.

I was absolutely appalled at the total lack of thought given to people with disabilities; of our party of 5, 3 of us are disabled, with mobility difficulties being a major factor. The absence of any disabled parking, fast tracking for access and toilets was a huge issue.

Personally I get around on 2 crutches and the distance I was forced to manage merely to get to entrance was ridiculous and hence severely curtailed the time I was able to spend at the event.

I am surprised that the organisers failed to recognise the needs of people with disabilities and I would suggest that this could negatively impact on any funding for future events due to the lack of compliance with the Equal Opportunities Act.

I do hope this oversight is corrected for future events
