The Racecourse Northampton reviews by real event-goers

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Nice family friendly day out

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Not much there and way overpriced for food or any rides.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

The music I heard was poor. The fairground prices too high. The displays were good, and the fireworks, and it was cheap overall I suppose, but it didn't have a good vibe.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Absolute crap. Poor selection of rides and rip off prices - £3 for a kiddies roundabout.
Food also over priced.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Overall really good evening out especially if you have children

Review of Northampton Town Festival

So much fun. Great area. So open. But prices were ridiculously high. To pay in it's £2, but then you have to pay each ride. They ranged from £3 to £5. Way too much for a ride per person.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

the balloon and fireworks had been cancelled but they were not telling people going in so this was fraud as it stated no refunds

Review of Northampton Town Festival

A great weekend for the family. Safe friendly environment, no concerns around pandemic. Thanks to everyone involved, I’d definitely recommend it.

But smaller than normal but still entertaining

Review of Northampton Town Festival

I felt cheated, the prices for the rides was ridiculous, it was far too expensive. The food prices were through the roof. With the amount we spent doing so little was crazy, we would have had a lot more fun if could have done more for the same money we spent. Next year I’m taking the kids away on holiday can do more for my money that way, have a better experience and a lot more fun.

The main arena the stunt team with the ramp on the lorry was fantastic but the other acts weren’t that exciting. The stage with music was at a distance and from what I could hear of them it wasn’t the best performances. There wasn’t that many rides and just expected a lot more from what I paid in total.

Pity about the balloons.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

I am not entirely sure why we paid £6 to get in. I assumed this would be Covid related and yet I saw one hand gel station (upon entry) the whole time.

The rides were well over priced this year. £3 for all ages. Well for a 1.5 to go on the tea cups with myself that is £6! That seems quite expensive too be honest.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Child ride at £5 far too expensive.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Overall very good, weather let us down so no hot balloon show we was excited for.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

It was "OK". Very loud music all the time though and both the rides (typically £3 a pop) and food was very expensive. How can you charge £7 for a few (about 8) haloumi fries?
Fortunately the weather held, though extremely disappointed that the hot air balloons didn't take off as that was the main reason for us going. There was no communication from the organisers that I was aware of. Motorcycling was fun to watch though. Toilet facilities were great, clean & well maintained.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Good show

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Good few hours spent with friends whilst visiting the area. Whilst we are not fun fair people obviously for families that looked good fun. We really enjoyed the stunt teams really good entertainment. Weather was fairly kind so nice wandering around the stalls etc. Food and drink prices ridiculously expensive but that is the same for all those type of venues feel sorry for families. Nice to see Vaccine tents outside asking people to take vaccine if needed. Thankyou again
