Stages were too close together and water was ridiculously expensive! Not many places to sit down either. Everything else was good but it was on for too long durning the daylight, couldn’t appreciate the light shows when the sun was out. Plus the kaluki stage was on a slope which was really uncomfortable!!

On the whole I absolutely loved Forbidden Forest. The venue itself, music and vibe was incredible.
The only things I would recommend improving would be the spacing of the stages as sometimes depending on where you stood you could hear music from another stage and the Kaluki stage was set on top of a hill meaning you couldnt hear it very well or catch a vibe if you were towards the bottom end.
Secondly the drinks system wasnt very efficient and was quite pricey, there should be access to free water taps on days like Sunday, however water was £3 a bottle and most bars ran out by 9pm.
The overall organisation of the event could do with improving as we queued for 45 mins to get in and then a further 20 mins for our pre paid drinks tokens.
However despite the negatives this was far outweighed by how good the event was. Would definitely recommend going if you get the chance!

Has real potential but there are a couple of key areas that need improving. WATER............. you should not have to stand in a line for 30 mins and more to get water and then pay £3 a bottle for it. It’s an outrage. You get a couple of water points where you can fill bottles up and maybe another bar to cut que times I’d most definitely be back.

Such a good event , buzzing atmosphere, they charge £3 for a bottle of water tho which is crap considering it was probably the hottest weekend of the year

These tickets were booked as a wedding present, I was a bit dubious about using the app and e-payment during the festival I needn’t have been. The entire experience was fantastic, from entry to topping up the band and buying drinks. Plenty of toilets (which were very good by festival standards) plenty of bars too. Easy drop off and pick up, we definitely couldn’t have asked for me.

This was my first rave and we are already looking at tickets to return in September! Loved it

Really good festival, the setting was excellent and very different to anything I’ve been to before. The lineup was brilliant with a really good selection of artists, however I feel it was let down by the quality/loudness of the speakers. I didn’t find the sound particularly good and found that I could only really hear the music if stood very very close to the stage. The festival tickets were excellent value for money, however drinks were unfortunately very expensive. I did expect this.
