点评:Disappointing, let down and not family-friendly.
We were really looking forward to CarFest as this was our first festival with our 1 year old. We had previously attended Laverstoke and loved it, which was a big reason we chose to return with our daughter.
Unfortunately, this year was a very different experience. We paid £473.70 for tickets and parking and felt the festival was poorly organised and the not family-friendly festival that it seemed to promote. This was meant to be the highlight of our year.
The distance between the campsite and festival site was incredibly impractical with a young family with a pushchair, changing bag and chairs. It was over uneven gravel and alongside vehicles. At some points it was poorly lit, water logged and dangerous. If you’re thinking of going to the 2027 festival, check the walking distance from the camping area to the main event!
The biggest issue came when our daughter was suddenly very sick on Saturday night. We asked five different members of staff for help getting back to the campsite, but received conflicting answers regarding the shuttle bus system. You could tell that the staff members were frustrated and confused with the lack of information they had. We were ultimately left to walk around 40 minutes back to the campsite along the waterlogged gravel path, covered in sick and with a very upset 1 year old!
There were no baby-changing facilities on the campsite, or at least that we found after 3 days….
The Kids Zone was very difficult to access. After the long walk to the main site (and paying £20 for a programme) we discovered that the kids zone was another long walk away. Several stages were also difficult to see and hear meaning we missed acts we had specifically planned to watch. It was such a waste of our time and money.
There were some positives — the Tiny Tots staff member was absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful — but overall, the organisation, facilities and lack of support from Silverstone and CarFest left us feeling very disappointed.
We spent a lot of money and had saved for this trip because we wanted to give our daughter a special first festival experience. Sadly, instead of happy memories, we came away feeling let down and out of pocket.
翻译:令人失望,让人大失所望,而且根本不适合带小孩的家庭。
我们原本非常期待这次CarFest,因为这是我们第一次带着1岁的女儿参加音乐节。我们之前参加过Laverstoke音乐节,非常喜欢,这也是我们决定带女儿再来的重要原因。
可惜,今年的体验却截然不同。我们花费了473.70英镑购买门票和停车票,但觉得整个音乐节的组织工作很糟糕,也完全不是它所宣传的那种适合家庭参与的节日活动。这本应是我们一年中最期待的时刻。
但对于带着婴儿车、换尿布包和各种用品的年轻家庭来说,从露营地到 festival 举办地之间的距离实在不切实际。沿途都是崎岖不平的碎石路,还有车辆频繁往来。有些路段照明很差,积水严重且十分危险。如果你打算参加2027年的 festival,一定要先确认一下从露营区到主会场的步行距离哦!最糟糕的情况发生在周六晚上:我们的女儿突然病得很重。我们向五名工作人员求助,希望能返回营地,但得到的关于穿梭巴士的信息却相互矛盾。看得出,由于信息匮乏,这些工作人员也感到沮丧且困惑。最后,我们只能带着呕吐物满身、情绪低落的1岁孩子,沿着湿滑的碎石路步行约40分钟才回到营地!露营地里根本没有换尿布的地方,至少我们在待了3天之后也没找到……
儿童区也极难到达。我们步行了很远才抵达主会场(还花了20英镑购买活动节目单),结果却发现儿童区还要再走很远的路才能到达。另外,有几个表演的场地离我们太远,根本看不清也听不见,因此我们错过了原本特意打算观看的演出。这真的浪费了我们大量的时间和金钱。虽然也有一些值得肯定的地方——比如“Tiny Tots”的工作人员真的非常出色且乐于助人——但总体而言,活动组织方式、场地条件以及银石赛道和CarFest方面缺乏应有的支持,这些都让我们感到极为失望。
我们花了大量金钱,还专门为此旅行攒钱,就是想给女儿一个难忘的首次音乐节体验。可惜的是,我们带不回任何美好的回忆,反而感到大失所望且经济上也遭受了损失。
