The weekend was brilliant. They really need to fix the sound though. There were loads of issues with every acts which was frustrating at time for crowd and the Acts, some of which made that wellknown. Most acts laughed about it and engaged the crowd, especially Sunday. The acts were really entertaining.
Lots of space, some good stalls and food and really good prices. Lots of things they could do to improve but the people , staff and crowd were fantastic. Just the sounds needs perfecting. When it worked properly it sounded amazing. But a fabulous weekend for the money, loved it.

The event had great potential but spoilt by very poor sound from all performers and long embarrassing delays. Toilet and shower facilities were inadequate and couldn't believe there was no where to buy ice-cream!!

Issues with sound systems for bands meant long periods of down time, site itself not enough portloos/showers/bins the sites own toilets dire & in desperate need of work,especially the bar ones. Otherwise festival itself fantastic value, could do with few more stalls but understand its a fairly new festival.

Great line up, ruined by the sound not working correctly. Some artists forced to played shorter sets as the sound engineers tried to fix problems. Microphones cutting out before and during songs. Sound distortion when it did work.

Would not recommend the glamping, in fact apart from it being in a belle tent it is not glamping, two extremely hard camp beds to sleep on with no mattress. Contacted the company SEVERN BELLS SLEEPOVERS they were not interested. Cheaper to stay in a hotel.

The festival itself was enjoyable with a great atmosphere, had a great time.

A great well run event.

The majority of the tribute bands and singers were excellent and got the crowd going. The sound system was good if you were stood facing the stage but would be greatly enhanced if there had sound speakers facing to each side.

The atmosphere was first class not least with the amount of people in fancy dress, the musicians and the friendly staff.

As with most events of this nature the price of food and drink is a little on the expensive side but on a positive note there was no restriction on bringing your own good and soft drinks.

They need to up their game regarding the sound system..what a mess which resulted in a lot of the acts and guests frustrated..id gone to see bonjovi and they had to start an hour late and could only do 5 songs..disgraceful.i felt so sorry for them..i dont blame them at all its the organisers who need to make sure their sound n lighting is up to scratch.the stage was also in a silly place.
The rubbish situation was diabolical. Few bins which werent emptied AT ALL.Neither were the toilets cleaned unlike other festivals.so with some tweaks it could be a great festival but they MUST UP THEIR GAME!

Line up was excellent. However, huge issues with sound spoilt some performances.
Good level site for motorhomes, caravans and tents. Portable showers great. Permanent toilet facilities were very tired and dated. Elsan point was as basic as you could get!
At no stage over 3 days did we see a bin emptied. Rubbish was piled up in mounds by day 3 and everything went into one bin - no collection points for cans or plastic bottles.

Most acts were really good, except the creepy Michael Jackson. There were ongoing sound issues and the T.Rextacy experience was cut short and ruined for us. They needed more bins and more toilets and we should be able to bring our own drink in. There were no gluten free options for my partner who is coeliac.
