Review of Fireworks & Food Chepstow

Over flow parking appalling and a huge risk, I’m heavily pregnant and if I needed to leave I wouldn’t have been able to as they parked everyone behind eachother and by the side so no one could leave if they wanted too. Secondly with the prices of the tickets being £10+ by the time you pay vat etc, the fireworks were shocking. With the money raised you would think the firework display would have been amazing but it wasn’t worth the journey for the 20 minute firework display.

There were no major fireworks, you couldn’t hear anything as music was blasting in your ear and lasers shooting you in the eye so you couldn’t see anything.

Underwhelming event but a good range of food vendors

Review of Fireworks & Food Chepstow

Street food options amazing! A lot of things for family and very family friendly, however fireworks were very very poor.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival Chepstow!

Poor signage to car park
No difference between premium parking and 'normal' so premium was a waste of money.
Unfriendly security
VIP bar area was as far from the stage as you could be, with boarding completely blocking the view of the stage.
The worst bit was the 'VIP' toilets - mixed male and female, half the flushes stopped working after a few hours and only 1 of 5 hand dryers worked.
The stage was set up in the car park and with the venue half empty it was a bit bleak.
On the positive side, the bands were good and the fresh baked pizza was great. The venue, particularly the poor VIP arrangements were disappointing. I would not attend another similar event her.

No food or drink allowed in then charging £6 for a small can of cider or larger. Carparking at £12.00 way to expensive will mot be back.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival Chepstow!

The bands were great, but personally I found there wasn't as much atmosphere to other events I've attended.
On days where you go as family it would be great to be able to take some food and drink to help out as the cost of food and drink there was so expensive.

No where to shelter from the rain , could've been a great night sadly not

Review of Save The Rave: Outdoor 90's Festival

Very small, DJs played the same songs, no themed scenery, decorations, festival flags, etc. just concrete, fences and old picnic benches. Prices insane for cheap unbranded drinks.

Review of Outdoor Tribute Festival Chepstow!

Bands and atmosphere excellent would definitely go again. Only downside is very poor selection of over priced drinks. No branded soft drinks available only flat unbranded full fat rola cola priced at £3 a glass. No free drinking water available only bottled at £3 a bottle. Very poor.

Hi so I attended the look-a-like festival on Sunday the 8th. It was an absolute disappointment you opened the gates at 12 with big Ques due to bag checking and the first act started at 12 so majority of people attending missed the first act. Me and my husband went to your bar asked for a drink which we was told was sold out so only asked a simple question how are you sold out when the festival had only just started to which we got a load of abuse of a young lad behind the bar the language was appalling we got called c**ts for just asking a question. 2 cans of thatchers and a single vodka and lemonade 30£ it's shocking!!!!

Review of Save The Rave: Outdoor 90's Festival

In my experience, the communication between the staff at the venue was poor.
As per the Save the Rave website, I was permitted to take an empty water bottle into the venue, but upon my arrival, Security staff informed me that I had to throw it away. I challenged this with another security officer, seemingly more senior who said I could indeed bring my water bottle in, however it was now too late as I'd discarded it. Once inside the venue, there were no water refill stations anyway and when I asked various staff members how I could get access to water they were unable to suggest anywhere. It was a mild warm day and essential to access water.

I paid for Priority parking at a cost of £16.75 and when I arrived in an empty field there was no one managing the car park or taking scanning tickets therefore I could have paid for free parking had I known. So I will be persuing a refund.
Overall, it was a pretty poor event.
