点评:This racecourse is beautiful and just a 10min walk from the centre of town. Went the first day of the Boodle Festival and there was a great atmosphere. We had tickets for the County Long Room which meant we had outside allocated seating overlooking the finish line. BUT… the organisation of the venue lets everything else down. We had to queue up at Guest Services for our lapel badges that didn’t arrive in the post (and there’s nothing in email communications to tell you anything about badges), they challenged our choice of footwear despite ignoring a gentleman wearing an old pair of sketcher slip-ons! We were told if we bought a bottle of fizz (£110!!!) we’d be able to take it to our seat - then security stopped us and said no glass outside! They allowed us to take it onto the County Stand where we had to sit on a concrete step to finish our drink. To make matters worse, when we eventually got back to our seats, we complained other people had bottles outside. One of stewards explained they’d been told halfway through the day it was now ok. The food outlets are few and far between and options limited to burgers, pies, or loaded fries - and don’t expect staff to know where anything is. Would I go back? Probably, but I’d be more prepared and eat beforehand!
翻译:这个赛马场很漂亮,离市中心只有10分钟步行路程。我们参加了Boodle Festival的第一天,气氛非常好。我们买的是郡长厅的票,这意味着我们可以坐在室外,俯瞰终点线。但是……场地的组织安排却拖了后腿。我们不得不去游客服务中心排队领取没有邮寄到的胸牌(而且邮件通知里也没有任何关于胸牌的信息),他们甚至对我们穿的鞋子指指点点,却对一位穿着旧斯凯奇拖鞋的男士视而不见!他们告诉我们,如果买一瓶起泡酒(110英镑!!!),就可以带回座位——结果保安拦住我们说外面不允许带玻璃制品!他们允许我们把酒带到郡看台,但我们只能坐在水泥台阶上喝完。更糟糕的是,当我们最终回到座位上时,我们抱怨说其他人把酒瓶带在外面。一位工作人员解释说,他们当天中途被告知现在可以带酒了。餐饮店寥寥无几,而且选择有限,只有汉堡、馅饼和浇满酱料的薯条——别指望店员知道东西在哪儿。我会再去吗?也许会,但下次我会做好更充分的准备,提前吃饱!
