Review of Sign of the Times

We were in a campervan and parked on top of the hill we had no water supply except for the main arena area not good so up and down hill carrying bulks of water..also more preparation to make ground safer when it rains like it did

Great event thx

Very good three days spent at Sign of the Times. Staff excellent, bands very good, prices of drink and food reasonable. Very accomodating to show England game whilst bands were playing. Could have water outlets at top where camping was situated and may be a better contingency plan as ground was sodden and very hard to get our camper vans out on Monday morning.
Overall great experinece and will come again !

The music playing in the big tent interfered with the headliner bands. The provision for dealing with the rain regarding the mud was completely inadequate. I couldn't get off the site when I finally decided to call it a day late Saturday night. The main tracks should have been maintained so people could leave. Would not return next year.

Although the weather was awful it was still a brilliant festival. Right size, good bands. Food choices were a tad limited but we had a fab time. Be booking again for next year.

Review of Sign of the Times

This is the third year we've been to the festival, massively unimpressed, while I appreciate you can't control the weather, nothing was done to try to improve the ground, it was treacherous to walk and drive on. Surely getting some bales of straw would've helped.
Only 1 block of toilets in the arena, only 1 entrance.
The position of the tent was poor as you could hear music from there when close to the front of the main stage.
Disappointing

Even with all the rain and mud, what a brilliant little festival, genuinely can't wait for next year.. ❤️

been going since first year , unfortunately like most small festivals as they get bigger so do the prices of drink and food and also the zero tolerance to being in your own , festival on the other hand is very big and allow you to brink in as much drink as you can for personal use , no issues , child and dog friendly as well , we really liked gin of the times first 3 years but will consider other options in future . living vehicle now a long way from arena up a long hill , not good for those with mobility issues or older people

Shame the signage to get in and out wasn't better, but overall a good experience, in spite of the mud.

Review of Sign of the Times

Nice small event - please don't grow! Good loos and showers in glamping, kept clean and stocked; tipi fine in heavy rain, beds ok.
Needs more shelter around stages against rain/hot sun please.
Needs loadsa straw in car park and on walkways in heavy rain please.

A lovely sized festival. Enough to give a festival atmosphere whilst still being able to get around easily. The toilets have toilet roll and hand cleanser at all times and small queues, that's pretty amazing for a festival.

Review of Sign of the Times

The weather was unfortunate but no provision had been made for it. We had requested accessible parking for my friend who has a blue badge but were informed there wasn't any when we arrived. The quality and choice of beer 2 years ago was excellent and okay last year. This year it was abysmal and more expensive. Only one ale was available, canned, over-priced and poor quality. The cost of the food vendors had gone up 25% since last year. In previous years the bands have ALL been bands we've heard of and some worth the entrance price on their own. This year there were no bands of that quality and a number of bands we hadn't heard of. The impression given this year was that everything had been done on the cheap to maximise profit with no concern for those attending.

Review of Sign of the Times

Despite the torrential downpours, this was a fantastic weekend of great music across two stages, a good array of food stalls and extremely well organised and professional organisation, from ticket purchases to security and car parking. The beauty of a small festival is that you don't have to walk for miles, watch bands on a screen because otherwise they are just a tiny speck in the distance, or queue endlessly for loos or beer, and yet the atmosphere is just as uplifting as a at a larger event. Many congrats to the organisers, we will be there next year! 😊

Great bands but badly laid out in terms of noise from one stage to another. No water tap, waste or showers in vehicle live on field high up a hill! VIP toilets and tables inside vip tent never cleaned and worse than normal ones. Needs a serious rethink. Bands were great ?'?

SOTT posted on Saturday morning, not to arrive by car due to the wet weather, suggesting getting dropped off or finding other means of transport. Not really an option for a rural venue. There were many posts on social media about the site not being fit for purpose and lack on contingency plans. I had knee surgery in March and could not risk slipping over on muddy churned up ground. We had to make the difficult decision to stay home. Not good communication from the organisers, lots of people on similar circumstances reacting to the post about not arriving by car, but no response from SOTT
