Review of In It Together Festival 2024
Second year attending the in it together festival. We camped for the second time so spent the whole weekend Thursday - Monday. First off the camping, much better organised than 2023, toilets and showers were a 1000% better, there were occasions toilets weren't great but they kept on top of them as much as they possibly could and considering the volume of people, they did really well. Showers were great, warm water good pressure and plenty of them. Campsite was clean and tidy with security on site all the time, but they weren't the fun police, allowed everyone to enjoy and party on, but were there keeping an eye on everything.. family camping was quite loud, doesn't bother me as we're at a festival and I could sleep through a zombie apocalypse anyway. But if you expect a quiet site by 11pm you'll be in for a shock. Then comes the festival, not as good a lineup as last year, which was abit disappointing, but still plenty of people to see and the atmosphere was great. Security getting in were a pain. They've gone from last year allowing 16 year olds to spend the whole weekend alone, (which was ridiculous) to this year not allowing them into the festival without an adult.(Equally as ridiculous) Which was crazy as we were in family camping, they had family camping bands, clearly they were with adults, but 16 year olds don't want to stick to their parents like glue, so this was an issue. A few times they went back to the tent for some food but were then refused entry back in without phoning us, the signal is poor so took ages to get through to us. Very unnecessary I think and a bit of common sense needed really. Maybe if they could get their hands stamped on the first entry with adults or something? At one point I had to go back to my tent for something and found the boys stuck in the que. So I literally walked them in and then turned around and walked out which apparently was fine, but they couldn't walk on without me. Just unnecessary rules with no benefit.Price of food and drink inside the festival? Absolutely extortionate, to give some perspective we're a family of 6 and over 4 days we spent over £800 so it's not cheap! However could be made cheaper if you go back to the tent for all meals etc, but as you have to qué with general admission to get in and get re searched every time it makes it a bit of a faff. I will say though the food is lovely inside there, so although over priced it's atleast nice food. Leaving on departure day was a nightmare no staff on site initially so it was a free for all and we were stuck for over 2 hours, literally gridlocked, Staff eventually turned up and did get some order and then it all moved quickly. All in all, it's daylight robbery inside the festival, they catch you all ways. Even the rides went up from £6 to £10 as the days went on, but I think that's standard. Some of the security were hard work on the gates and seemed very anti teenagers. Which was a shame for a family festival. So there was little issues and grumbles but there always will be. In truth it was a great weekend and we've already booked for next year as I don't think the kids would forgive us if we didn't! We had a great time, despite a few little annoyances. On the whole though a well organised and well run festival.

Review of In It Together - Add Ons
The accessibility team on site were amazing but hampered by poorly prepared and ill informed festival organisers.
The line up in the tents was disappointing and pretty much the same as last year. A few really good acts on the main stage but otherwise underwhelming.

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
First year we had Noel Gallagher , we need to get that sort of level again, however Dizzy Rascal did rip the stage up on the last day . But he ain't my sort of music .
In terms of prices , there needs to be leniency in terms of food and non alcoholic drinks being allowed in with young families , otherwise its a very expensive weekend .

Review of In It Together Festival 2024 (Extra Listing)
Great festival for all ages. Unfortunately I feel it was too busy on the Saturday. A lot of underage teenagers with no responsible adults. All asking to come in with an adult at the gates. Drinking water was warm and there were people washing in there so not hygienic to drink - drinking fountains should be separate! For a family festival you should be allowed to take in sealed soft drinks and food for children. Only cans of water sold at £3.50 - it should be cheaper to encourage people to keep hydrated and at least bottles for children to be able to drink out out! Otherwise a great atmosphere. Lots of options for the children. The lay out in 2023 seemed a lot better for the children's area, the rave tent should have been where the tic rac toe area was this year out of the way instead of families having to trapes past a lot of teenagers! You should be able to walk up both sides of the hill to reduce crowds with prams/trolleys/small children. Lots of toilets. All clean and not many queues but unfortunately they were all so far apart and spread out across the site for little children...

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
This is our first time at the festival and we had an absolute ball! The music was great I just wish I didn't have to spend so much money. I understand the fair ground rides being that price and the other stalls but £6.50 for a can of warm lager and £3.50 for a Pepsi (warm) really was extreme. I feel you should let families take in their own drinks and picnics. Kids snack all day long. Otherwise we really had a ball and we're already looking forward to next year!

Review of In It Together Festival 2024
3rd year; and it keeps getting better! Toilets were a huge improvement this year, lots of planning and taking on board feedback from previous years. Can't wait for next year!
