Good selection of food available. Actual toilet blocks which were great. Bar prices bit steep. Staff friendly, maybe more training needed as we got wrong drinks served. Overall a good experience. Great atmosphere despite the downpours!
Venue and all was good but major issue with the bar set up. I never understand, they know the volume of people but the queue for the bar was horrendous. Missed a lot of the music because of queuing ..
Venue & line up decent but very poor entrances/exits if coming from the west
Venue amazing bands were totally awesome to watch pity weather could not have been kinder but stayed to listen till last half hour then left to best traffic but we'll worth the money only thing that was confusing was vip and accessible tickets I had both which let me rather confused
Great gig overall great venue I would definitely go again also very friendly atmosphere & food & drinks had a great choice 👍
Had a great day, bands all great, sound, food, facilities, staff all really good
Amazing gig, but the bar queues were awful, took about an hour to get served, all day/night.
