Had a really great time - bands were excellent, suspect that CrazyHead might have blown the speakers as the sound was a bit off at times. Only criticisms resulting in a 4Star Review were: There were not enough food stalls and the outside area was much smaller than we all anticipated, so queues were long and seating was pretty non-existent (needed if your demographic is c. 45-65 - I might need a hip-replacement this week). All in all great line-up and a bl00dy good time had by all - we will be back.

As amazing day. Every band played a stunning set, but the Wonder Stuff blew the roof off. Nice venue, really well organised. Just superb.

great selection of bands...really glad to see this event back. Given the numbers that were there and the fact that you weren't allowed re entry after 7 getting fed was hard as massive queues inside all day (until they sold out) and not able to go outside and get anything either. could do with more seating as well...us oldies need a sit down occasionally!

Everyone at the venue was first class-the crowd, bar staff, food vendors and security. They all made it a great experience. The Wonder Stuff were, as always, head and shoulders above the rest of the bill

Great line up, wonderful organisation and friendly staff. Plenty of bars and music was amazing. Queues for the food stalls were too long however, need more of them! The actual food (halloumi fries and skin-on chips with some kind of amazing spiced salt on) was worth the wait and amazing value! My hubby said his chicken wrap was also lovely. A scheme for reusable pint glasses/water bottles might be worth considering, in view of the sea of plastic on the floor of the main hall. Great atmosphere, would come again!
