Review of Saffron Fest Presents FABBAGIRLS, PAT SHARP + MORE
Fabba and Pat Shape were great albeit Fabba came on 25 minutes late and their time was cut short by the late start.
The venue and event organisation were rubbish. Honestly, queuing to buy tokens to buy beer and food , to then queue again for at least 45 minutes. Utter con trick and designed for you to buy more tokens than you need to then go home with additional plastic tokens you have bought but not used. A huge ripoff and totally unnecessary. Only one food van too which served the worst beef burger and chips I have ever tried and failed to eat. The loos had no lights either which lead to people holding their phone torches in the open doors. A disgrace which ruined otherwise great entertainment and an evening where we spent at least half of it queuing.

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022
Queues for the bars absolutely ridiculous. Waited 1hr at 6pm to get there and find they had run out of the basic drinks like Vodka and water!!
Ruined the whole event by having to queue for so long and to find you can’t drink what you want. Had to leave At 9pm as so sick of waiting in a queue for a drink.
Shame as the music was fantastic.

Review of Saffron Fest Presents Family Fun Day
the first film started before they opened the doors to let anyone in. so although there in time for the start we didnt see it. there's no mention on the advert that you can't take any food or drink with you.so we had to leave the snacks we brought for the children at the entrance all day but inside there was only one food truck with limited choice. £2.50 for a soft drink was expensive so mostly drank water as at least it was free. we were told if we went out we couldn't re enter. which was a shame for the children as they wanted to use tge play equipment on the common.wasn't much for the very young members of the family except the bouncy castle so family with 2 year old decided to go pretty quick, the advert made it look like bouncy castle was free. singers were good and we were able to see all of second film.

Review of Saffron Fest Presents FABBAGIRLS, PAT SHARP + MORE
The acts were great but organisation was TERRIBLE .
waited nearly an hour to buy drinks tokens ( in this day and age !!) to then face another long queue for drimks and yet another long queue at the food vendor !! only 1 food vendor on site !! prices a rip off !! Not allowed to take food or drimks into venue yet poor availabity / long queues . Not even accrss to free water ( whichbi thougjt was obligatory !! ) i would not attend or reccomend this event to anyone in future and given the comments seen on facebook from fellow attendees i doubt it will go ahead next year !!

Review of Saffron Fest Presents Family Fun Day
was a fantastic day apart from the 4 elderly folks during the movie grease. if you want to watch a movie at a family event, with children that run around, HAVING FUN.... then sit elsewhere.

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022
A great night in Saffron Walden, but I thought waiting time for queuing for drinks was too long. They needed to supply more water as the bars ran out! Food was good, music was brilliant and time went too quick. Let’s do it again!!!

Review of Ibiza Anthems Garden Party 2022
Badly organised event, we spent more time queuing for the bar than we did dancing. Over an hour waiting for a drink. When we got to the bar they had run out of most drinks. There was no toilet paper or hand sanitizer in the toilets, which were not cleaned at all during the event.

Review of The Common
Come on people ! All these negative reviews. We had the best time at this event and will deffo go back next year.
When you go to event expect a queue for drinks. We never had to wait more than 20 minutes .
Prices were acceptable for such an event .
It was £25 a ticket and the DJ line was what we went for . It was excellent value for money considering the line up of pretty much superstar DJs. The Creamfields stage blew my mind the sets were epic. Edele Adana set was full of energy and totally got the crowd and the crowd loved her. From then on it just got better and the music was incredible. If you know your music you would have appreciated each artist x What a honour to see Mauro Piccoto and Tall Paul - Tall Paul absolutely smashed it. I haven’t seen him since Turnmills and my god did he do Cream Proud.
The Centre Force stage was equally as good . Carly Denham set was brilliant. It was at this point I gravitated to cream fields stage . Purely because this is my kind of music more. I didn’t leave my dancing spot for 7 hours ! ( fair to say my legs are like jelly today !).
Food at festivals has always been a no go area .for us . Eat before you go or don’t bother. Far too much dancing to do . Although I guess some people need to eat? Strange people are complaining about the food ? Burgers /Pizza/ Chips ? What do you want this is standard .
The weather was incredible x So lucky to have a lovely hot day to party which chilled of course in the evening x
I met some wicked people and we didn’t stop smiling . We stuck together and danced all night x The one’s who stayed you really were an amazing bunch.
If you want Ibiza vibes the cream fields stage certainly delivered a packed host of DJs equal of a club in Ibiza !
If you want to experience Ibiza then go ! But please don’t write a review that you had to queue for a bottle of water for 20 euros !! Because you will do the same there !
In all my life I have never been to an event where they supply free water ? In fact a lot of clubs used to turn the cold taps off so you couldn’t drink the water ! Be prepared to pay for drinks . Don’t go if you can’t afford it .
The DJs and crowd made this event and I was absolutely gutted when it finished . Time flew too quickly.
I really hope you don’t listen to the negative reviews and do this event next year . Me and my friends loved it x
