Review of Croydon Road Recreation Ground

Food and drink normal festival rip off prices and they said no chairs or blankets but loads of people brought them! Aside from that the music was superb, some great bands took part. For me Heather Small stole the show, she looked stunning and her voice is strong and awesome. Sadly only about 6 songs but wow the lady was incredible.
Roll on next year!

I really enjoyed it - thank you - maybe more Soul groups singing and playing earlier in the day - had to leave a little early 😥😥

Music was great but the sound wasnt set up right could not here the singers as the music was drowning out the mic.

Apart from the prices in the bar the food was great and the everyone seemed to enjoy the day. Location was great

Review of Soultown Festival 2019

Really had a great time and it was a bonus that the weather was sooo much better than last year. There was a good selection of food vendors. Getting a drink was a bit problematic due to long queues, and disappointed there was no red wine available.
The absence of bins resulted in there being a quite a litter issue, which a few others commented on too.
Now that this year’s event has been such a success, I wonder whether organisers may need to look at a new venue for next year. Beckenham Place Park perhaps as it’s larger and has separate areas that might be good for the different stages, thereby avoiding the sound of the music blending together for those who weren’t lucky enough to be quite near the front of the main stage area.
But all in all thank you for a brilliant local event. 👍

Review of Soultown Festival 2019

This festival is ideally located and the line up was brilliant but the drinks were over priced . £8 for a gin and the queues for a beer were awful so not enough beer tents.
Plenty of food stalls available.
Plenty of toilets.
Would definitely recommend for a great day out.

Review of Soultown Festival 2019

The last act was very disappointing as her microphone didn't appear to be working and we couldn't hear. It was embarrassing for the Candi Statton. lots of people started to leave at this point. The drinks were extortionate and the bars very badly organised. lots of bar staff telling customers they weren't serving!!! £6 a pint which is just plain greedy for warm flat beer in a plastic cup !

A well attended festival. The first one for me and my fiancee. Looking forward to next year.

Review of Soultown Festival 2019

Live bands would have been good. Not backing tracks. Waited a long time for last act. Evelyn Champagne King should have been top billing. She was brilliant. Great venue and parking. Only one vendor selling tea and coffee so long wait..30 minutes plus. Toilets clean. DJs good. Would go again.
