Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

The venue is good. Have been before has been amazing. Sound system was not up to standard. Music selection also not really great. I have spent many summers in Ibiza the playlist was poor. It’s a shame as had such a good experience at these events previously.

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

I went to The Carriage Shed on Sunday for Ibiza Classics & left 2 hours early. Let’s start with the positives
1) great venue in the sun 2) reasonable bar prices 3) great music

Negatives
The volume of the sound system was so low that if you had a conversation with the person next to you the music would be drowned out. People were chanting “Turn it up”. It literally became a running joke in the crowd. You are running a club event & if you can’t turn it up because of noise pollution you shouldn’t be using it as a venue. The tickets weren’t cheap @ £30 , so I expect more for my money. You had three speakers on the left hand side and nothing on the right??? Hello!! People on the right want to listen to music ! House music’s foundation is built on kick & bass but I’ve heard louder farts than that system was delivering.

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

Music was far too quiet to the point where you could not even hear what song was playing & you could hear people talking over the music 🥴. Also the fact that Ellie Sax was not there and you failed to inform anyone who bought tickets it’s disgusting. She posted on her Instagram in April that she was gong to be in Monaco on that date so probably would never have been at the carriage shed… we left around 6/7 as we were basically bored. We went there to dance and enjoy the music which we couldn’t even hear. You should be refunding people as this day was simply a shambles.

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

Awful event! Couldn’t hear the music, even after requesting it to be turned up! Advertised that Ellie Sax would be on then tries to fob people off with someone else! People paid to see her and she wasn’t on! Absolute waste of money would not go again! Ripping people off

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

It was so lovely see all ages at the venue and the atmosphere was buzzing and the staff extremely polite and helpful was expecting a little more ie special effects and more than one food venue and a little bit more tables, seats if possible. Enjoyed the day.

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

Unfortunately the advertised line up did not perform.
Where was Ellie Sax? A complete imposter was put on at 8.00pm and you hoped or believed people wouldn't notice. Very disappointing.
Not okay!

Fabulous day overall

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

The event was appalling. Not [possible to hear music over the chatter of people. Simply not enough speakers, therefore no volume possible and consequently no atmosphere. I spent an hour asking bar staff, security and stilt walkers where/who the promoters of the event were so that I could voice my disappointment. No one was able to tell me who the organisers were or if they were at the event. I travel all around the world to music events and gigs. This was the worst thing I have ever attended and I have emailed the organisers via Facebook to request a refund. We arrived at 4pm and left at 6pm as it was that poor. Drinks were all warm, nothing was refrigerated. The toilets were also very badly managed with most of them being commandeered by groups of young people 4 or 5 at a time using them as private meeting places/booths to "have privacy" whilst they did drugs. Altogether the biggest disappointment and a waste of £30 and my Sunday afternoon.

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

The only real problem was lack of rubbish bins People were just dropping their cans and drink containers on the dance floor or just up against the side walls where people were standing or dancing Maybe have a couple of those large industrial type bins so there is at least some where for people to put their rubbish Apart from that it was great 1st time but won't be the last

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

Over priced entry, no seating, warm can of larger and the music might aswell of been a Spotify mix.
Won't be going again, and definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Although we had an amazing time as we did last year and we have booked again for August they did not play many Ibiza classic anthems.
The venue is great but we had to ask for tap water which should be available bring a licensed premises

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

Music was far too low and too hard, it wasn’t the light classic Ibiza beach vibe music that gets everyone going and in the mood.

Been to better sibilant events at the same venue

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

The music wasn’t very Ibiza classics, I knew about 4 tracks. Very disappointing

Review of Ibiza Classics at The Carriage Shed

Disappointing that Ellie Sax was main PR and was replaced and no warning. Been to same event previous years and there was a better atmosphere. Still a good day but not as good as previous events. Lot of people complained about music not being loud enough too!
