Review of RA Monster Events

Review of RA Monster Events

Really disappointed. The shows were every 2 hours, missed the 12 one due to traffic and getting into the venue as there was a car boot. Meaning the show at 2pm wasn't monster trucks, just bikes. So didn't end up seeing the monster trucks as we didn't want to wait around for another 2 hours. So a 4 hour gap to see monster trucks when it was called the "monster truck show".

Paying £11.25 to see monster trucks for 10 mins (didn't even get to see) every 2 hours is a rip off.

Food stalls were ridiculously priced, the monster truck ride was £10 per person which is a rip off too. There were 5 of us. I wasn't paying another £50 to ride round in circles on a monster truck when I had already paid over £50 to get in plus car parking! The fair ground rides in themselves were already high priced.

Never again!

Review of RA Monster Events

We had a good time overall but felt it was very expensive for what we actually got. The atmosphere was very family friendly. The main reason not to recommend was that despite leaving masses of extra time to arrive at the venue we queued in traffic outside for over an hour and missed the first 5 minutes of the show we had planned to see. Especially disappointing when the show itself wasn't much more than 10 minutes long. It appeared this was due to poor organisation of the company managing the parking than the event organisers.

Review of RA Monster Events

The access to parking was poorly managed and it took 45 minutes to get into the car park, the fair was basic and catered more for younger children, there was only 1 monster truck and the 2pm show it didn't even move, spent half an hour watching a guy on a bike jump a car as it moved slightly further away, very disappointed and a waste of a day

Review of RA Monster Events

Don't bother! One monster truck which did a rather unimpressive 10 minute show (with a break in the middle) road over the cars 4 times and drove round in circles for the rest. Followed by a 2 hour wait for the bike show- again a rather rubbish old man doing a small jump and a young girl driving in circles. no other entertainment- fair was £5 per ride and the food queues were long. queued for an hour to ride for 5 mins on a monster truck for £10pp (it was very fun)
paid for parking and the attendants were sending you in circles to park. asked for a refund and was refused. What a load of crap

Overpriced, only 3 monster trucks in total. No seating and awful food

Review of RA Monster Events

This was a huge disappointment to all of us. The food options were very limited and poor, the toilets were disgusting and the 'entertainment ' was non existent apart from a scheduled display at 4pm. This was advertised as a full day event so really did not live up to expectations.

Review of RA Monster Events

Took my daughter as she wanted to see some monster truck action and we spent around 3 hours there but saw none before my daughter and I got bored and decided to leave. Food and drinks also very expensive for what it was (yes I know it's never cheap at events such as this but this was very expensive imo). Fun fair was ok but not great, got charged twice to go on the Dodgems even though we only had one token. A tenner for parking I felt was a bit of a joke too.

Won't go again, far better things to go to and spend money on.

Review of RA Monster Events

Not much Monster Truck action going on, show was 15 mins not enough to do to hang around for the next show unless you have plenty of money. Food over priced, some side stalls over priced, £5 for hook a duck is a rip off. It was almost like the monster truck side of it was just a rouse to get you there to be ripped off by everything else.

Review of RA Monster Events

That monster truck event was an absolute disaster-horrible, terrible, and utterly disgusting. The noise was unbearable,, and the whole thing felt like a cheap spectacle with zero entertainment value. Honestly, I can't understand why anyone would enjoy such a mindless, chaotic mess.

Review of RA Monster Events

Wouldn't recommend the ground that was chosen as there was a queue getting into the car park and it caused us to miss the first Monster Truck session. It was disappointing that the bikes were at 2pm and that there was a 4 hour wait for the monster trucks. Probably wouldn't go again.

Review of RA Monster Events

Essentially a fun fair that you paid to get into. A monster truck event at 12pm and then nothing else until 4pm save for a really poor motorbike show in the middle. Really poor.

Review of RA Monster Events

Avoid at all costs!!!!
Absolute rip off!! Was not a monster truck show but infact an overpriced fairground. We were there for nearly 4 hrs and didn't see one monster truck show!!!! Unsafe bouncy castles, marshals were letting on way too many children which ended up with children trampling on others. The company has poor customer services and a warning to everyone, once you have bought a ticket, even if you did get ripped off and pay £52 for a family of 4 to enter a fairground, they WILL NOT refund you. My 4 Yr old son was so sad, it was a birthday surprise for him to go to a monster truck event, that was not a monster truck event. Never ever again will I visit this company and I will be taking it further!

Review of RA Monster Events

very poor event, 2 h in the que to pay extra for a ride. there was only 2 cars and 1 driver who was running like crazy in between them. we paid for parking who no one checked and was available anyway in this same spot where CarBoot people parked without any payment.

Review of RA Monster Events

Not much to do unless you want to pay £5 a go for a 2 minute fairground ride or £5 for 10 minutes on a bouncy castle or any other fairground ride and then the monster truck (only 1) comes on for less then 15 minutes and then pay out more money to keep the kids entertained for another 2 hours until the next show with the motorbikes. There were 2 monster trucks doing trips around a field but we had our grandson with us who was too little to sit on his own and again more expense. I know you have to pay for rides etc but when there is 2 hours between each show, it gets expense keeping the kids entertained.

Absolutely shocking excuse for a "show" 10 mins of one monster truck doing the same thing over and over and how they can call the rest a fun fair is beyond me. Feel scammed out of money to be honest!
