Fab family event. Only issue was not really many child friendly drinks apart from c**e or lemonade in the bar areas.
The security staff were amazing and friendly. Would definitely attend again.

I really wanted to say that I'd recommend to friends & family, but it was a bit pricey (both alcohol & food) and the usual situation at festivals with the lack of toilets. Sunday atmosphere was good but too many chairs/blankets in front of the stage making dancing practically impossible (unless you wanted to trample on children?).
With a few tweaks this could be amazing! Keep the ticket pricing low and you could be onto a winner 😊

I didn't like the fact that once you were in you couldn't go out and re-enter.
Also, a few of the acts I wanted to see were not on.
Not really my thing but made the best of it.

Acoustics weren't great. Not the bands/acts I was hoping to see. Not much selection of food and expensive. Information about the event hard to find. Would have been better with more stalls and things to do. A running order of the acts would help.

Parking was well organised, probably the quickest I've exited a festival. Mostly the acts were very good, my only complaint was the bands that were on the original poster that didn't appear, most of which I got my ticket to see.

It would have been useful to have a timed act list before the event. Also would have been nice to have taken a picnic, no food allowed.

What a great day! Such good value for 10 hours of excellent entertainment. The whole event was very well run and there was a great atmosphere. My only quibble was that not all acts that were advertised were there and we were a little disappointed with the singing quality in the Queen set. That aside we wouldn't hesitate going to another event

It cost us £12 to park in a field (this is in addition to ticket prices)
Drink prices were insane - the guys behind the 'bar' were literally just pulling tins of cider or beer from multipacks and selling them individually for £6/£9 per can. The packs would have been bulk bought from somewhere like Bookers so the mark-up was huge.
A cup of WATER was £3
Bottles of spirits that sell in supermarkets for £10 were being sold for £150 (yes you read that right)
Don't book the 'VIP' area - it was laughable. £40 for the 'privilege' of sitting behind high metal fencing at the side of the stage (so most people couldn't see a thing) and use of some rusty old toilet block. The non VIP people had the area in front of the stage and a full and up close view of the bands.
Food very expensive - tiny portion of chips - £5 and of course you're not allowed to bring your own food and drink.
The majority of the bands that were on were very good -in particular the UB40 and Freddie and Queen but these were tribute acts and don't warrant the prices of parking, drink etc
I felt the whole thing was pretty badly put together and a scam. It was only the talents of the bands that saved this event.

Extra charge for parking was unexpected. Not clear young lads taking money for car park and selling beer were legit! Food prices expensive.
