Review of Chargecandy at Download Festival
I absolutely loved this event. this year was my first year of download and I enjoyed every day if it, so much so that I was compelled to get a tattoo about it. I really loved the music and the atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and everyone supported each other and personally, I felt very safe all weekend.
However, there were a couple of things noticed this weekend that I struggled with. for example, my partner and I came with a disabled and PA ticket and upon arrival, we were sent all over the site just to hunt down the location of our wrist bands. it took us over half an hour just to find out where we were going and when we finally got there, it took us an hour to get our wrist bands. the one other issue I saw was that *some* of the security guards didn't seem very engaged. one example of this is when a man, who had clearly had a lot to drink, fell over by my groups camp site and a whole handful of people came over to help him up and it wasn't until my friend actually called over the security (who were just by the gate a few meters away from the situation) that they decided to stroll over look at the guy who fell over, asked if he was okay, and walked back to the gate where he was standing. Apart from that, everything ran smoothly and my group and I had a really good time. the co op was great, some of the prices of the food trucks were extremely over priced but the food was good.

Review of Chargecandy at Download Festival
Charge candy at Download Festival were a life saver. Was so easy to go back every day to swap for a new charger. Only downside was that they didn't fully charge my phone. Most ot got to overnight was around 60% which is still better than having a dead phone.
The staff were awesome and there was more than one station to collect and drop off chargers from which made it so much easier.

Review of Chargecandy at Download Festival
Having one charger per day when they don’t even provide a full charge was irritating, but otherwise a good service that kept me going all weekend luckily. Overall 6/10 experience for me, need better power banks or more chargers for them

Power banks need to be bigger so they last longer and as a wheelchair users it would be extremely helpful where possible that they can put the stalls on level flat ground where possible and lower counter area so that I can use it by myself.

Review of Chargecandy at Bloodstock Festival
Bought a locker to charge my phone and store my valuables as I don't feel comfortable keeping them in the tent. I found when I went to charge my phone that they wanted an additional TWENTY FIVE pounds to charge my phone on top of the locker which cost £18.99. Absolute rip of con artists. I'll chance it next time if I'm at a festival and these cowboys are the chosen partner. Lockerhouse are far better value for money and don't take advantage of people.
Review of Chargecandy at Bloodstock Festival
Charge Candy, where do I start.....I was sold on having an actual locker, that I would be able to access personally. This could not be further from the truth. Having a Sharpie Pe, a few bits of A4 paper and a random number allocated to me but not written/printed which I could bring with me was very concerning. For my items to be taken "round the back" and out of site made me shiver with fear. For all I know, my car keys and bank cards were thrown in a box, probably accessible to anyone behind the scenes. I await my Bank telling me there has been "some unusual activity on my account" in fear. The fact also that there was little to no Mobile Phone signal at site also gave me the fear! All of this, not communicated when making the booking!! I certainly will not recommend or use again!! I feel this is a futile request, but I would like my money back or at least an acknowledgement of some kind of refund.
