ROLL ON BUTEFEST 2106 

Review of ButeFest 2015

Arrived Saturday so missed the worst of the weather.
Brilliant  very well organised event.  Great music and sound.  Lots of choice for good quality food.  Plenty of toilets keep as clean as possible.  Can't fault  any of the staff who were good humoured and very helpful.  We will be back and telling more about it.


Fantastic family festival, hope there will be another in 2016! Really puts bute back on the map. 

The festival itself was great, apart from the weather. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good friendly atmosphere. The food was great, the Bands were good and sound quality was fantastic!  Well done to the sound engineers!

Areas for improvement:

Sitting round a lovely big bonfire is a big part of a festival for me. The weather was really cold for July and the fire was way too small to heat more than maybe 20 people. The metal thing the fire was in meant that peoples feet and legs didn't get warm and dry and cos it was such a small fire, people were getting too close trying to get warm, therefore much more chance of accidents than with a larger fire where the heat keeps you further back. Firewood seemed to be heavily rationed too which is a false economy, cos cold people will look around to find things to burn.  Also the last minute putting a rope round it to try and keep people back actually made it more dangerous IMO cos people were leaning on the rope. So a decent big bonfire next time please! 

There wasn't enough info available about timetable in advance of the event which made it difficult to arrange when to arrive and leave.  Personally if I had known I would have chosen to avoid the gales on friday as the bands I particularly wanted to see were on Saturday and Sunday, but as I didnt want to miss them I came on friday. I didnt know there was going to be yoga on either. The availability of swimming pool and sauna right next to the venue wasn't mentioned, I would have brought my cossie if I had known! 

It was ok, maybe not worth all the money as all of the bands (apart from Skerrvore, We Banjo 3, Peatbog Fearries, Federation of the Disco Pimp) were mostly/all local and if you were not from the area you never knew them.It wa also a shame it was the same weekend as TMF and Hebcelt.

Had a great time.  Very friendly helpful staff.  Layout of the venue was really good and that made it easy to move around and make the most of everything.  Could have a few more large clear signs to the campsite when you get off the ferry and as the heavy rain had been predicted more hay and some contingency walk ways (wooden pallet type) into the main arena would have been helpful.  All things considered though a really fun time and definitely would be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed it apart from terrible weatheron Friday night, great atmosphere.  Top liners should have been on earlier 

Small festival, very friendly and  lots of stuff to keep kids entertained. Mostly Scottish influenced music, great to dance to. Clean festival loos too!
