点评:Try to arrive at the venue, poor signage had us follow ‘straight ahead’ only to find no further signs in the village. We turned back to enter the campsite entrance to be directed back the way we came to go through the village…eventually there was signs. We got parked £15 on top of tickets, first financial hit. Bags checked twice no one scanned out tickets!
There was not much to the festival. I have no doubt if you are really into country then this is great a place to but it wasn’t that big to walk around. The sound from outdoor stage was overlapped with the indoor stage and a court pop from the rides. Unless you were right on top of the stage your enjoyment was spoiled from the overlapping of music.
Bar prices- expensive drinks to be expected, but seriously TWO Madri (only beer available) and four fruit ciders (cheap unbranded) for £20 plus one juice was £45. Worse was four appalling processed chicken kebabs for £60 - YES £15 each.
The final and most vile thing, and I’ve been to plenty festivals, but I have never seen event cubicle toilets still being operated while a septic truck was present. The trick was parked on the side people were queuing. The smell was repulsive. This pumping should NOT be taking place at peak times and the truck position and queue should have been managed to safeguard against any hazard in the process (which can happen). I left and found another toilet to use which was fine and well stocked with loot roll and sanitiser. This was very poor and risky event management.
I can’t recommend and definitely would not go again.
翻译:我们尽量赶到了活动现场,可惜指示牌极少,我们只能沿着“直走”的指示前行,结果在村子里再也找不到任何指示牌了。我们只好折返回去,从露营地入口进入,结果又被指引着原路返回穿过村子……最后才看到了指示牌。除了门票费用外,我们还额外支付了15英镑用来停车,这是我们付出的第一笔开支。行李被检查了两次,可根本没人查验门票!
这个音乐节实在没什么可看的。我毫不怀疑,如果你真的喜欢乡村音乐,这里绝对是个绝佳的去处;不过场地面积不算大,走起来也并不宽敞。户外舞台的音乐声与室内舞台的音响声,再加上游乐设施播放的流行乐混在一起,除非你就在舞台正前方,否则这些声音的叠加会大大影响你的欣赏体验。
酒吧价格方面——价格偏贵也在意料之中,但说真的,两杯Madri啤酒(唯一能买的啤酒)、四杯廉价的无品牌水果苹果酒就要20英镑;再加上一杯果汁竟然要45英镑。更糟糕的是,花了60英镑买了四串处理过的鸡肉串——没错,每串要15英镑。
最恶劣的是,我参加过很多节日活动,但从未见过在化粪车正在作业的情况下,现场的移动厕所仍能继续使用。那辆化粪车就停在人们排队的旁边。气味极其难闻。这种抽吸作业绝对不应该在人流高峰期进行,而且车辆的位置以及排队区域本应加以管理,以避免可能出现的任何危险(这种危险确实有可能发生)。我离开后找到了另一间厕所使用,那里一切正常,还备有大量卫生纸和消毒剂。这次活动管理实在糟糕至极,且存在很大风险。
我无法推荐这个地方,也绝对不会再去了。
