Everything excellent, but should have freshwater supplies, more than one Elsan point and a few more toilets in the motor home area.

Review of Sign of the Times

Our 3rd year and booked next year ?'?🏻 great atmosphere and live music. The right amount of toilets in the top field and floodlights made it easier. Really need water up there as we had last year. There were 2 entrances last year which made it easier to get up and down. I love that it's a small festival and a little sad it gets bigger every year so ultimately will change and lose that small feeling. Proud we drove the moho off and didn't need a tow. Yes it was very muddy but people didn't know how to approach it, slowed, hesitated and got stuck. Well done Jeff for towing everyone off you were a real super hero ?'?🏻

Review of Sign of the Times

Worst experience ever. No info after a flood of the campsite. No phone number for help. Security know nothing about event queries. No signage. Do not answer email or online enquiries. They take your money and run. Left after one night camping due to catastrophic organisation in face of bad weather. Ignore any queries or complaints or questions about refunds. Skiddle refuses to help too. Had to file a claim in PAYPAL and write to Rip Off Britain. Avoid like the plague. No matter how enticing the lineup don't do it. You will have a miserable experience and no recompense or acknowledgment or apology.

too much mud and not provision for it; also glamping was not good because the toilets and showers were not posh or maintained

Review of Sign of the Times

Excellent even with the mud

Review of Sign of the Times

No contingency for rain. Bad lighting on Church End Road and on campsite . Car parks needed straw put down to help cars get out instead of getting stuck in mud. No traffic management on Albury End road which meant cars parked on verges and increased risk which ended in someone being hit by car

My impressions on the festival:
The main stage and tent were too close together. You had to be very close to the main stage in order to hear it over the tent.
There were limited water refill points and they weren't very well sign posted.
There was limited choice for food and the prices were relatively expensive. Having different selections for beer at the two bar areas resulted in a lot of footfall though the muddy fields.
There were few spots to shelter from the elements.

The venue had a tough time with the weather but could have taken more preventative measures with straw on the ground.

Despite this the band choice was very good.

Lovely festival. Good price. Music was excellent. Enjoyed even though wet and muddy this year

Review of Sign of the Times

Great Line-up however many bands clashed as did the sound from both stages - Weather was bad so set everything was set back toilets showers etc . - Drinks and food overpriced but all these things could be sorted for next year - If they are I would return - Would be handy if somebody with a clue about hospitality would run VIP .

Sign of the Times first timer! Absolute lovely small festival...with a big name line up!
Loved the community feel and warm nostalgia blanket provided by the more seasoned artists! A few points around the camping area needed tweaking , but nothing that we couldn't work around. Recommended for those who want the big festival feel without the chaos!

We know the organisers cannot help the rain, and it certainly rained! We had to leave early on Sat as we were unable to risk keep walking up and down the fairly steep hill to the music area as it got wetter and muddier. We're not disabled but are in our 60s and paid extra for posh' loos. However they were located by the 'tent' campsite, meaning a wet, slippy, muddy (and for us, dangerous) trudge down the hill and back up again, plus the posh facilities were so few it was pointless waiting in the queues to use them. Should have been separate posh loos for the 'campervan' area.
I can imagine how great it might be on a hot, sunny weekend, but that slippy hill, combined with stupidly slow queues for bags to be searched, made it too stressful and miserable. The parking staff on arrival were lovely, but spending ages queueing in the rain with no 'queue managers' (so others simply pushed in) to then stand in the rain watching bands, then slip over up and down dark muddy hills is not for us.
We watched as early as Sat, other vans getting towed out by tractors, that in turn churned up the mud each time they moved, and worried that by Sun/Mon we'd be unable to leave, so made an early exit and reluctantly missed the rest of the festival. Lineup was great but the layout means we'd not risk it again so sorry would not recommend.

Review of Sign of the Times

Absolutely boring 😴 noise could be loudly heard even though my house opposite fields is fully double glazed. Camper van spend the day and night parked outside the house,road congested and local residents as far as little Hadham village and Albury could not park near our houses,bad security not a sign of any wardens stopping parking in a residential area if there had been need of ambulance or emergency service it would have been disastrous. Poorly run!!!
