Review of RA Monster Events
very overpriced for what it was - £5 each to go on a bouncy castle. Our boys were expecting to see lots of monster trucks - there were only 2 . Monster truck show every 4 hours. Do not waste your money

Review of RA Monster Events
I'm sorry to say I can't give any stars to any or these sections, as this was the worst event we have ever attended. I'm sure you've been inundated with complaints already. But (in short) one Monster Truck on show at only 2 slots during an entire day, is not a show, nor does it lend itself to the description of "Monster Trucks" as in plural.
From carparking, to food stands and the show itself, it was an embarassment and entire waste of money. I just hope others manage to avoid it, I think the general consensus was people felt conned.

Review of RA Monster Events
The website could have mentioned when the monster truck show was actually taking place, when we got there at 2, there was only a couple of motorbikes going around in circles and doing a few tricks.
The queue for the monster truck was very long.
Was a nightmare to get out of the car park.

Review of RA Monster Events
This was not really a Monster truck event, very disappointing. The only Monster trucks we saw were an expensive paid for ride. Queues into the car park and to get out were very long, queues for all food vendors were long and expensive. I would not recommend.

Review of RA Monster Events
Terrible!!! Don't waste your money. Was just a glorified "fun" fair! We went for the monster truck show at 12 - 2, stayed til 3 in the hope of seeing it, it never happened! the "stunt" show was just a few jumps over a car, impressive on the street with you mates, not so much for a paid show. only highlight was the ride on the monster truck however we had to pay a whopping £10 per person for this ON TOP of thw £11 pp we already paid to get in. also had to queue for 1hr 40mins for it! The food stands were shamefully over priced. These people are grafters, here only to rip you off!

Review of RA Monster Events
For a monster truck show we expected more than three monster trucks to be there. For he number of people the ride on experience the queues and wait time were ridiculous especially with young children. There should have been more performances with the trucks as the middle performance was just two motorcycles so even though we were at the event more than three hours we didn't get to see one monster truck demonstration. The event was very underwhelming and extremely over priced. We basically paid to go to an overpriced funfair. Very disappointing.

Review of RA Monster Events
What an absolute waste of time and money! Boor fair was on the same day, so it took over an hour to queue to get into the car park which I had paid £6 for, for no one to check my ticket???
Not much to do, apart from queue to buy some overpriced crap food. £23 for a burger, crap hot dog and handful of chips.
We stood waiting for a show snd ending up seeing a motorbike riding around the pitch doing some wheelies, then finally it jumped over a car...woo hoo.
No licensed bar...as advertised!?
Queue for a ride on a monster truck was all the way across the field which was hardly moving....I now hear that you had to pay an extra £10 to ride on it? The advertising said you get to ride on a monster truck so why are you charging extra???
Then to find out after asking the young girls at the entrance when was the monster truck show was, to be told not until 4pm! so we decided to walk out. We were not going to stand around doing nothing from 2pm until 4! The advertising said shows at 12, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm!
So we actually never got to see a monster truck going over the 4 crushed cars in the middle of the pitch. Also there was only 1 monster truck parked up on the pitch. Would have been nice to actually see it working!!!
And finally it took 45mins to get out of the car park.
We would have had more fun at the boot fair.
Very badly organised and NOT as advertised.
An absolute rip-off!

Review of RA Monster Events
We arrived at 12.30, after waiting an hour to get in to the car park. Waited for the 2pm monster truck show to be told it was just a stunt motorbike. We when waiting 45 minutes to leave the field without seeing a monster truck show. Highly disappointed
