Tredegar Park Newport reviews by real event-goers

Review of Disco Tots

Brilliant family day out though 2 main djs wasn't there- Ian van Dahl and Tinchy strider which was both the main event.
Food stalls so expensive! Other than the above a great day out.

Review of Disco Tots

Food and drink very expensive.. but apart from that amazing friendly great family day!

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Terrible communication about the event, to the point that we were almost refused entry because your tickets said “last entry 8pm” and we arrived at 7:30pm. Cans of Budweiser were £6.50. Comedians were good, and staff were nice but you really need to work out a way of getting people there safely so they don’t miss half the show and letting people bring their own food and drinks as £20 for three cans is a joke.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Venue good, park & ride provided was efficient, there was a queue for it at the end of the night, but that's to be expected. Food was nice but definitely overpriced, as were the drinks. Venue good but as you were not allowed to bring your own food or drink they could have made the vendor prices more reasonable.

Review of Disco Tots

Not what I was expecting at all. One small tent with a few hoola hoops and circus toys for the children to play with, this is where I spent most of the day. Nothing else for children to do. I understand there was no bouncy castles, the weather wasn't nice in the morning, but no rides or fun activities for my tots. It was a hard day to get ready for, with two kids and the traveling etc.. I felt it wasn't worth my time. Sorry.

Review of Disco Tots

We used the park and ride from Tredegar Park. We got the coach with ease both ways. We got in the venue quite quickly. Was disappointed we were told not to bring our own food because bags were not checked on entry. The food on site (we had gyros and churros) was delicious but pricey. Drinks were too but these things are to be expected. There was some scaremongering prior to the event in regards to the state of the field but the ground was fine, anyone that didn't come for that reason missed out. The music and atmosphere was fab. It's a shame that the entertainment pieces for the kids didn't go ahead but it didn't stop a good day out.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Very over priced food and drink! Rip off. Golden circle tickets not worth the extra money if you’re getting them for the toilets or priority access, as the toilets are filthy, only two per woman/man so lots of queuing. Only one person scanning in tickets for priority access so slower than the standard entry. Getting worse every year. Organisation is poor.

Review of Disco Tots

Absolutely horrific. I will never attend an Escape Records event again.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Really fun evening. Would go again but buses should be ready to take everyone on the park and ride. Waited nearly half an hour for one bus to do the shuttle. Should have two, ready and waiting, to take to the train station and car park

Review of Disco Tots

This was not aimed for tots. The rides were not age appropriate, no inflatables , bouncy castles or mascots (that are age appropriate) music not appropriate, a Shisha tent?? Really? Food and drink awful prices. Children were bored and crying

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Comedy line up was fantastic as was the music. Food trucks and bar far too expensive and not great quality for that. I’m pretty sure my husband has food poisoning from a burger there.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Tried to contact the organiser on several occasions but absolutely no reposnse received back, looking in social media this looks like a common issue

Review of Disco Tots

We went as a large group with my two young children and it was great fun. The 90s tent was a favourite and Kevin and Perry were the highlight. However, it was disappointing that there weren’t more activities for young children. For example, there were no kids rides for small children or tents that played music specifically for children. I know the wind prevented the use of Bouncy castles. More needs to be done for it to cater for young children as the event is “Disco tots”. Despite this, we did have a great time but I think the extra help of having a large group with us made that possible. If it was just us and the two kids, I think the kids would have been bored very quickly.

Communication of travel needs to be better but otherwise it was great

Review of Festival Of Comedy

We had tickets to Festival of Comedy which stated last entry at 8pm, we were refused entry at 7:30pm. Friends inside said there were plenty of empty seats. We had golden Circle tickets what a waste of money

Review of Disco Tots

It was great for adults, but nothing for the children to do. The children were bored. No bouncy castle as had been advertised and no music for the children. Wasn’t an event suitable for children and the prices of the food, drinks, ice cream etc was ridiculous. The one ride the children could go on was the waltzers and even that wasn’t really appropriate and was extortionate. Good day out but that was because of the people we’d gone with as opposed to what was available for them there. Could have gone to a park for free and had the same experience for them.

Review of Disco Tots

Shocking event! How they can advertise for tots when there was NOTHING there for them.

Review of Disco Tots

Half of what was advertised didn't turn up it was not catered for toddlers selling booze and products with drug symbols and names is not what a toddler needs absolutely shocking we left early to go the park and no entertainment or rides suitable no inflatables rip off

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Great line up and ticket price.
Food concessions a bit pricey though

Review of Disco Tots

It was a good day but I would suggest that if your advertising it has 'DiscoTots' then you have more for tots! You only had 3 rides at the venue and they were for older children and adults. There's only so much plate spinning and hula hooping a toddler can do!!!!

You also informed people to be there early to help the queues, your shuttle bus started at 11.15am which is a good time but could have started earlier, but your gates didn't open till 12pm (advertised in your email) but the music/acts started at 12. Don't you think your gates should have opened before 12pm?!

Also not allowing food to be taken in for children and actually taking it off parents I thought pretty petty! Some children are really fussy eaters. Your 'corner shop' which I was told sold loads and you can get stuff there was a letdown!
