Review of Kevin & Perry Go Large: Kids Rave On The Pier

Wasn’t a foam party more like fake snow party. Not enough shade from sun. Supposed to be a kids party but all the adults pushed to front stage. Great idea just purely executed

Review of Kevin & Perry Go Large: Kids Rave On The Pier

Absolutely fun

Review of Kevin & Perry Go Large: Kids Rave On The Pier

It was advertised that the main act wouldn’t be coming onto stage until 3 hours after the venue opening

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

It was more like an adult event. Lots of adults standing around looking at the half dressed singers on the stage. No room to swing a cat, not my idea of a kids event. My kids wanted to leave after 1 minute!

Review of Cinema on the Pier: Grease

Shame there weren’t more people there. Tickets stopped being checked before the film started so people could just wander in.

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Thought there would be more going on and not enough food stalls, we left early to get food and kids were bored

Review of Piertown Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Way too busy, queues were so big to do anything drinks or food or face painting won’t be going again

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Far too many people for the space available. We had our 6 and 5 year old and had to leave after 10 mins. They couldn't get to the Damce floor. It would be better to segregate an area for children only! Could have been an amazing event but instead this time round was awful!

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

The flyer and info suggested there would be superhero’s face paint and games with activities to do along with stage singing and music. What we found was one lady doing £8 face paint with a huge que of over 50 odd people. No activities no food stalls just 2 people playing music on stage. Far to many people given access and totally not worth the £24 paid.

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Waste of money, not suitable for a six and four year old. Definitely not as advertised.

Review of Piertown Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Queues ridiculous. Told could get a refund as not enough staff to deal with the queues and now being refused refund.

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Lot of queues but I don’t think the crowd was expected. Going again tomorrow and hope this was teething problems. Otherwise fabulous, for Nanny’s too.

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

We waited for over half an hour to get in with our pre-booked tickets. The event was overcrowded, organisers should not be so greedy with ticket sales! Drinks were really overpriced as was the food. There was only one working food truck and people with small children were waiting for over two hours for a portion of chips. Then the chips ran out! We waited an hour and a half for a burger which was £7. The health and safety aspect was dreadful with too few stewards and staff carrying table umbrellas pointed end first through crowds of small children. The event was not a described on the advertisement. Where was Bob? Why did the Hastings Spiderman make such a short appearance that most of the kids were disappointed? Horrible event. Will tell everybody to avoid in future.

Great day out

Review of Piertown Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Burger stall man was making women literally cry and we waited 1 hour 45 min for our food

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Far too many people for a children’s party. Long queues for everything and no space to move around

Review of Pier Town Presents: Kids Party On The Pier

Billed as a kids party.
More like a teenagers rave.

On a pier, shouldn't complain about the weather but there was no shade for younger children.

The one food stall open was dire and took 2 hours to produce some overpriced sausage in a roll and skinny chips!!

The music was so loud that you couldn't get down near the stage without ears bleeding.

The face painter was one person with a que as long as the pier.

Shocking!!!
