Review of In It Together Festival 2024 (Extra Listing)
Acts and entertainment excellent ,a bit more organisation would turn this festival from a good festival to and excellent one , parking the camper vans turned a straight forward job into something difficult ,the " app" which should have allowed us to plan our weekend didn't work until late Friday and only on Apple. just put it on your website a few days before.
Last moan ,our pitch had all of the electric hook up taken but was told more ehu was on its way ,it didn't materialize.
Sort these simple things out next year and you will have something special

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
First time going had a great time but VIP was a huge let down it was well oversold and the toilets were dreadful always dirty rarely had toilet roll or hand sanitiser in the porta loos around the whole site were miles better much cleaner and always had toilet roll in them and as for seating in VIP very poor plenty room to fit much more seating in but on a plus all the staff were very pleasant around the whole site.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Had a ball. Only thing was crowding in parc stage field which was more than last 2 years but then the other field seemed quieter so difficult to plan for people behaviour. Toilets much cleaner, biggest improvement for me

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Whilst still a few elements to improve, they have listened to the feedback for the previous 2 years to make changes to improve things. Toilets for a festival this year were amazing!! Personally, I'd like to see more bands like year 1 and 2 and separate the teen tent from the kids area. It was much busier this year but on the Saturday they made a point of widening the walk way. Staff were fantastic. Well done!

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Drinks are extremely overpriced at the bars! Paid extra for posh loos, they had no toilet paper, massive queues, leaking toilets and none available in the campsite we were staying in. Complete waste of money!

Review of In It Together - Add Ons
Considering it's only it it's 3rd year it's a fantastic festival. Really accommodating of families but the e vip tickets were a total waste of money. Totally oversubscribed and queues for drinks were longer in the vip tent than in the general field.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
it was a fun family day. however I wasn't able to enjoy the dance tents due to the amount of mud. I was really pleased with how clean the porta loos were kept and the atmosphere was brilliant. I do worry that if next year. it rains how we will get out of the car park fields as I was wheel spinning in the mud and we had quite a dry weekend in all. hasn't stopped me booking again for next year though

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
We have been to the the festival twice, and each time the facilities have improved. The toilets were poor last year but this year there were lots of toilets and they were frequently cleaned and loo roll replaced, by festival standards they were very good. The app was also helpful to check the line up not to miss anything. The security and all the teams involved were all very helpful . Thorough enjoyed and looking forward to 2025

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Previous 2yrs i would have recommended this festival, this year not good for younger children. I do appreciate that it is a new festival and a learning curve so will be giving them the benefit of the doubt and will be going again in 2025 with my kids but if its the same as 2024 then it will be our last time as kids didn't enjoy it as much as previous 2yrs. This was our 3rd year at this festival as a family of 5. 2 adults and 3 children aged 9, 6 and 5. Previous 2 years were great and kids had alot of fun, this year personally i felt the kids field was a huge disappointment. They had moved it to a bigger field but put a DJ booth and large fairground rides in it which attracted alot of teenagers who were not accompanied by adults. In my opinion this was not a good move as it didn't feel as safe for the younger children., with teenagers charging around that had obviously been drinking, screaming shouting and using foul language with no consideration for the families with young kids. Keep the kids field same as it was previously, more enclosed only smaller fairground rides, fun house, bouncy castle ect as teenagers weren't inclined to come in there as nothing in there for them. Everything was all over the place and to be honest it just didn't have the same friendly atmosphere. Things that my children had enjoyed in the previous years were no longer there, sandpit, haybales ect. Previous years my children enjoyed the outdoor cinema, it was a great opportunity for them to get some downtime away from the crowds, we seen the deck chairs and screen but never any movies playing this was a big disappointment. If they are going to continue with the theme family friendly then it needs huge improvement as mixing teenagers who are quite clearly drunk in with small children is not good. Paddock stage which is located in the kids field had a band on Friday night at 6.30pm which we sat down to watch but left after 5 minutes as the foul language he was using was disgusting. I have nothing against acts like this but this was in the kids field and definitely not appropriate for children. Family camping had groups of teenagers camping without a parent and were playing music, drinking and talking very loudly about how off their faces on drugs they were and shouting all thoughtout the early hours . Personally if teenagers are there they should be camping with their parents not in groups on their own. Going forward i think the organisers need to decide if this festival is actually family friendly or a teen fest. Im happy to mix in with lots of different people but quite frankly the teenagers thought they owned the place. I don't have a problem with people enjoying themselves but this was going on 2-3 o'clock in the morning. It did feel as if they oversold tickets as Friday you couldn't move with the amount of people. Ourselves and children did enjoy a few acts on the steelworks stage (reggae) friday afternoon my daughter was dancing her socks off. We always go to the top of hill to watch acts on Parc stage as its not in the thick of the crowds and a bit more space for kids to move around. Sound quality of main stage needs checking as you could hardly hear it half way up the hill and the phone charging booth at the top had rave music blasting out which is definitely not needed when people are trying to watch the artists on the main stage. I think the choice of food vendors was great a bit overpriced but you expect that at a music festival. The restaurant at the top of the hill was pointless and a complete waste of money. We ate there Saturday night and quite frankly we would have been better off with the food vendors as it was extremely expensive for what you had. It was advised as having Parc stage view but you couldn't even see the stage. Bar was overpriced but again you expect that. One problem we found was Sunday night many drinks at bar out of stock and the chip shop had nothing but chips not even any vinegar or **tchup. In my opinion this is crazy as the festival is still on, surely they should make sure they have enough stock for the whole weekend. Toilets were a big improvement on previous years, lots of attendants cleaning and always had toilet roll ect. We always pay for the posh loo/showers which are good but there needs to be more of them, at least one lot on every field as people are paying for this. Posh showers were good and warm. The rule of taking no snacks or soft drinks for your kids into the arena is ridiculous and completely unfair, no other festivals i have been to have this rule. I understand they dont want people taking alcohol or picnics in but some stuff for kids, crisps ect shouldnt be a problem when things are so overpriced and when you have more than one child it can get extremely expensive. Also £5 for one fair ride is crazy, i have 3 children. I would much rather pay for a prepaid band at additional cost of say £40-50 per child so the kids can have unlimited access to the rides. The inflatable assault course cost me £18 for the 3 of them and they weren't even on there 10 mins. All in all it was a mixed bag for us this year. Lots of things that definitely need looking at if this is going to continue to be family friendly festival or just over 18 years but make a decision as for me this year it just didn't work. Im keeping everything crossed for 2025 or unfortunately it will be our last.
