Tredegar Park Newport reviews by real event-goers

Review of Disco Tots

The event was marketed to kids ‘Disco Tots’ but clearly everything was catered to the adult event on the same site the night before. None of the advertised kids activities were there and other than a single tent for circus tricks there was nothing for our 5 year old to do. Even the rides were aimed at and only suitable for adults. I’m not sure what tots want CBD tea or vodka slushes. Really disappointed and wouldn’t recommend.

Review of Disco Tots

Absolutely loved the event was so good can't wait for next year! Prices were a rip off though considering we already spent so much on tickets to be charged a fortune for children's drinks wasn't really fair

Review of Festival Of Comedy

The event was poorly signposted as were the instructions to the Park & Ride. We met several cars lost after the app directed us to the Park and not the parking. We were then given poor directions at the gate to the parking. After waiting for the coach to the site we had missed the host and first act. At the end of the night we had to wait 45 minutes for a coach back to our car. The event would have benefited from more coaches being employed especially as we were all rightly encouraged to book a shuttle bus rather than attempt to park nearby. Comedy was good but surprised that host left early for her own train!

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Great event, really well organised. Only comment is that it would have been nice to know the set list times and park & ride times slightly earlier to help with planning. Loved it and would definitely recommend.

Review of Disco Tots

There was nothing for my four year old to do. No inflatables no suitable rides. Did not see any fire acts or stilt acts. Prices were extreme

Review of Disco Tots

Booked tickets months in advance and by the time they bothered to announce parking there were no options for shuttle etc left all sold out! We couldnt find guaranteed parking and were traveling far so couldnt risk it! Noone answering phones or emails. Aweful

Review of Disco Tots

Absolutely nothing Tots about this day. No rides, no entertainment, nothing at all for children under the age of around 10 with the exception of a small circus tent which some circus objects.
Prices were unbelievable - supposed Mac and Cheese that was Penne pasta and an American cheese sauce for £10, a can of Budweiser for £6.50 and all of this was on top of the £72 we paid for a family of four.
Will not be going again.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Great line up as always. Friendly staff, good selection of food and drinks vendors on site. Well managed event and I will be back next year for sure!

Review of Disco Tots

A group of 6 of us didn't bother going after the absolute palava with parking. What family event doesn't allow parking or drop offs?! And letting people know this a week before the event is poor. Lugging the amount of stuff you need for babies/children etc into shuttle buses is not good

Review of Disco Tots

Terrible as there wasn't very much for the kids so don't get why you call it disco tots no inflatables nor bouncy castles no rides for kids all that was there was a little cramped tent with a few bits so falsely advertising

Review of Disco Tots

If some of the acts and activities didn't happen then why can't customers get a particular refund? We didn't get all that we paid for.

Review of Disco Tots

Not a ‘tots’ event as advertised, no rides for younger children, no characters wandering around as advertised, no child friendly food available (& extortionate prices!!) & some named acts did not appear.

Review of Disco Tots

Prices of food, drinks gifts etc is always too excessive. More so in this current financial climate. Maybe something to give hard working families as an incentive would sell way more

Review of Disco Tots

And no help whatsoever, promoters/ staff ignore your questions and were no help at all.

Review of Disco Tots

Fab event, kids and adults both enjoyed it! Food and drink prices were very high and overpriced! As were the rides and extras. Music was brilliant! Fun time had by all!

Review of Disco Tots

A child-free married woman, attended with best friends and their children and I’m not sure who enjoyed it more. The adults or the children.
We had the best day! Shuttle buses were great! A great variety of food stalls and a good amount of alternative activities outside of the tents.
The most clean portaloos I’ve ever used and the staff at the event were brilliant!
Litter pickers were seen constantly

Atmosphere was great!

Prices of food and activities were high for the value but it’s expected at events like this but we shouldn’t feel forced to eat here. Not allowing food to be bought in for families is a little unfair.

A large group of 18 will definitely be returning next year!

Review of Disco Tots

Poor organisation. No bouncy castle, inflatables or mascots no rides suitable for smaller children. Only small child attraction was bubbles.
Park & Ride return times were from 5pm too long to wait with a bored 3&6 year old so had to walk back to vehicle for over 30 mins alongside a busy dual carriageway.

Very expensive couldn’t take in kids type foods. Cost £32 for 2x burgers 1 portion of chips and 2x drinks.

Music was good, but everything else let it down.

Review of Disco Tots

Excellent day except some of the entertainment wasn't there like bouncy castle, giant baubles, mascot parade and circus performers.

Review of Disco Tots

Not as advertised. Very little in the way of live performances, just DJs, didn’t see any of the billed artists. Parts of the venue fenced off due to poor weather preparation. Bar was out of most stock by lunchtime on Sunday, leaving everyone to have to pick up whatever was left. Served in poor condition, warm, no ice, no frills and an absolute rip off on prices. £6 for a pineapple juice, £11 for a gin and tonic, £12 for one small pizza.

As something marketed as disco tots, there wasn’t much there for younger children (4-6 years). Misrepresented the event completely.

I do not expect you will likely respond to this but my email for a response is cpcneill@gmail.com

Thanks,

Chris
