Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022

Great event however the queue for the bar was horrendous, so maybe more bar staff in the future.

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022

Whilst the music and atmosphere was brilliant, the queueing for the ‘tokens’ and drinks was a complete farce.

Music was excellent. BUT we had to queue fir 30mins to get tokens as this was the only way to pay for food and drinks (1 little booth!) Then we had to queue for 20mins to get food. (1 cart only). Then another 30 mins to get a drink. The switch over beteeen acts took forever! It was nearly midnight when it all finished! Disappointing as the night could've been so so brilliant without the faff!

Excellent event but need more bar staff more food trucks and better toilets!

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022

Brilliant!! Went a bit too early,so not many there. As with most events these days,everything is cashless so just take your card. Numbers grew as the afternoon went on and everyone got into to it and started dancing. Really nice laid back atmosphere. Only small criticism would be just one food vendor and quite expensive. The drinks were very reasonably priced compared to other venues

Music was great, shame about having to queue so long to get tokens and then to get a drink. This changed the atmosphere and there were a lot of disgruntled people.

What a Load of unorganised mess, queue for an hour to buy tokens (£2.50 each) then queue another hour to buy drinks. Food over priced, (burger £12.50) didn’t last the night

Great location and very relaxed atmosphere 👍🏼

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022

was a good night with a good line up. the issues I had was that queses for the bars were huge and there was only 1 food truck with limited choice. it wasn't a large event either, I feel the queues could have been better managed and customers could have been served quicker, just real business basics. however, the event setup was really good. some strong foundations to build upon.

It was so unfortunately poorly organised. The music was good but information on the event was poor. To queue to buy tokens , to then queue to buy drinks at over inflated prices. The bar was poorly stocked it ran out of drinks and didn’t even have wine & Prosecco. Staff not a clue on anything. No lights in the toilets, no toilet rolls. Very poor experience. The venue was only a 1/3 full it couldn’t have coped if it was full.
It could have been so good. We were glad we turned up later and had eaten at home as only one food venue, really! Phrase as much use as a chocolate tea pot comes to mind! Get a licence next time and get lots of food trucks. Advertising and marketing very poor.

Badly organised event! The music was ok/good, but
we were in a queue all evening....for tokens &the bar! I've never been to an event like it! There were alot of angry people saying the same! I didn't eat there but the prices, from what I saw, were very inflated!! The token set up wasn't told to us when booking, there was ONE booth for them & THEEE staff serving at each bar....RIDICULOUS

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022

On the plus: Good production and sound.

On the negative: Too early a start with too many artists on one too many stages. Too few loos/facilities. Notable lack of First Aid. One food truck unable cater for all requirements (having been advised there would be an abundance). Rubbish bar/organisation/some staff (referring to lack of experience, allowing people to jump queue with no apparent repercussions), awful stock and choice, at terrible prices. No wristbands, with no option to come and go. Having been told we could bring nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, to then see people bringing in bottles that they wouldn't have got from the site. This was age restricted, yet there were kids playing football with no oversight whatsoever.

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022

absolute crap, waste of money. food and drinks were overpriced. took over an hour to get food. music was crap. toilets were disgusting. could've just stayed in the field outside and listened for free. don't waste your money!!!!
