The Racecourse Northampton reviews by real event-goers

Review of Northampton Town Festival

This festival used to be great, lots of character balloons, loads of stalls, and funfair. The entertainment in the main arena was pretty poor this year. And obviously the weather caused problems for the ballonists. It has really gone downhill.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

You have to pay for the entry, plus all rides overpriced! Dated rides and the minimum price for the ride was 4£ per person.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Over priced s**t show!

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Very expensive £4 a ride or £5 hook a duck is very expensive. And to charge £10:50 for burger and chips is a rip off!

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Event was wonderful. The ride and game prices were a little steep. Hopefully it won’t be that high next yr

Review of Northampton Town Festival

What a load of rubbish it was this year there was Absolutely nothing there ! Paid to basically get in to a free park ! One trade tent and overpriced funfair And loads of food stalls !

What happened was the same before Covid aswell ! The 1st year it was there was brilliant past couple of years rubbish !!

Needs to be more like the 90s balloon festival loved it as a kid please sort it out !

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Not enjoyed. specifically tickets sold out due to Balloon show. But it's just an eyewash. complete failure I would say. Don't want to attend any other events if organised by the current group.

I'm booked from London. Lot of money spend on train fare to reach there. But they said balloon are going to fly. Not recommended for non-native of that place.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

The hot air balloons were not there, parking expensive and food prices pricy for what was there. We had a 2yr old with us who was limited as to what he could go on. Such a shame as we were looking forward to it.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Red house lane band were excellent. Great evening of entertainment. Would have been good to have music with the fireworks.

Absolute rip off, completely unaffordable for a family to attend.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Expensive rides and a lot of empty stalls. A regular empty-ish funfair for kids.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

so expensive and nothing there. One craft stall, very disappointing and definetely not worth the money. beer tent expensive and fair rides for my 5 years old grandson so expensive.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

I remember the town show from over 30 years ago.
This is pathetic. Just a collection of food vendors and a fun fair.
The only thing that reminded me of the show from the past, was the craft tent, and that was tiny in comparison.
I won't be going to this event again, and I would suggest that if that's the best the organisers can do, just don't bother.
