Church End Farm Hertfordshire reviews by real event-goers

Review of Sign of the Times

Rain forecasted but no obvious plans to stop the mud. Toilets terrible, bar far too expensive £7 for average larger. £33 for a bottle of wine?
Line up was much better last year, underwelming this year. Bought the tickets before line up was announced, big mistake. Wont be coming again.

Great venue if in the dry but if it rains it's hell . If your disabled and in wheelchair or walking impaired it's a disaster

All the staff were fantastic. A big chuck up for the young bar staff, who were always friendly and pleasant.

An excellent festival, with great value for money with the selection of music acts.
The only point I will make is the lack of hard surfaces for vehicle routes and 'chock points' were many people will be passing. In the event of wet weather, it became a difficult sludge to negotiate.

Great festival, I had an absolute ball. Thank you.

Why did we have to pay extra £66 + booking fees for a live in vehicle pass that no one checked. 😡 and why did I hate to pay for one anyway???
No staff on hand to help with flooded exit/entrance in live in vehicle field and security (if that what their role was) who had no clue what was going on.
The Big Top was so loud on Sunday it drowned out the main stage!
Only 1 drinking water tap in the whole arena - the bar didn't have a water tap - how is that safe if it had been a really hot day?

The music was okay and I enjoyed some bands I'd not heard of before. But I won't be going again even if the bands were good. The organisers didn't really have back up plans for the weather and no staff around other than checking you had no booze in your bag!! Not good

Review of Sign of the Times

Brilliant festival, great bands, very friendly people (even in the mud and rain )🙂
More water points would be good,
And big top was better positioned in 2022, as sometimes depending on where you were sitting or standing, you had the 2 stages merging together. So we just moved to face the right hand side of the main stage.

A great weekend as usual, could have used a bit of straw on the mud to make it less slippery under foot and help in the car park going home on Monday morning. We're looking forward to going next year........ with a little less rain!

Review of Sign of the Times

We thoroughly enjoyed the music. Excellent choice of the line-up. The sound quality was mostly great but occasionally had a few problems. Pity about the weather but it brought out people's helpfulness.

Review of Sign of the Times

We had a fabulous weekend. The bands were great, the staff were friendly. Everyone was happy despite the rain and mud. We'll be back-booked already.

Review of Sign of the Times

Despite the mud & rain, which you had no control about ha ha, found the event amazing. Liked the relaxed atmosphere, very clean toilets apart from mud! range of food choices and the line up on Sunday were groups we particularly follow. Only went for the day to see them. Would come again if the line up is of groups we follow.

Review of Sign of the Times

Positives
1. On site, Jessica was very helpful
2. Glamping tents in good condition, bedding comfortable, duvets clean and warm.
3. Well maintained loos in arena, well supplied with toilet roll and hand sanitiser right till the end of the festival.
4. Small scale - everything to hand.
5. Good variety of acts, something to please everyone
6. Reasonable variety of food choices.

Negatives
1. No phone/internet signal on site
2. Stages too close or Big Top too loud, couldn't hear the main stage at times because of the noise coming from the Big Top. Big Top acts need to end before the Main Stage headliners begin.
3. Bands need to run to time, adjust the schedule if not enough time between bands to get set up properly
4. Once the rain turned the ground to mud, straw needed to be spread over the arena as it was seriously dangerous with many people slipping and falling over.
5. More picnic benches, we were discouraged from taking chairs in, but there was not enough seating inside the arena.
6. Many more toilets and washbasins needed for glamping area. 4 "posh" toilets for that whole area was not enough. They were kept stocked with toilet roll but ran out of paper towels very early on. Sinks had only a trickle of cold water which was hopeless for washing face/brushing teeth.
7. Showers good when working
8. Sinks with hot water needed for washing pots and pans in camping area
9. Extra tea and coffee van
10. Two, very different sized, glamping tents that were offered for the same price. Would have felt ripped off if in one of the smaller tents. Glamping tents were too close to the fence and the narrow path leading to the toilet block meant stepping over a series of guy ropes and a generator, this was dangerous and could have caused a serious accident, particularly at night.
11. Driving off the site after the festival was treacherous as the mud made this very difficult with many cars getting stuck and having to be pushed by other campers. No staff were on hand at this point to help.

Review of Sign of the Times

our first Sign Of the Times festival and despite the constant rain it was great, we loved the lineup, it was amazing to see so many bands for such a low ticket price, excellent value for money. The facilities in the arena where great, cleanish toilets (despite the mud) made for a big difference to the whole exerience.
