Tredegar Park Newport reviews by real event-goers

Review of Party At The Park 2023

Vip was a total waste of money, nothing to offer other than posh toilets.
the price of drinks was disgusting £10 for a can of au vodka, £35 for a bottle of wine.
the acts weren't the best, paid alot of money for an ok night. don't think I'll bother next year.

Review of Disco Tots

Was a good day out but half the things advertise was not there, no bouncy castle no large inflatables, no main act so was a bit of a waste of money

Review of Festival Of Comedy

The standard of comedy was great and the venue was lovely (got lucky with the weather and there was no indication it was sn outdoor event) but the food and drink quality and prices were awful!! £19.50 for 3 cans of Budweiser. A chilli cheese dog was £10 but had no chilli and contained a cold, tinned hotdog. I then tried a burger and the guy who served it had the dirtiest hands I'd ever seen. Foods stalls were a MASSIVE let down.

Review of Disco Tots

Fab day with the grandchildren who enjoyed so much they want a return visit.
Only minus was the price of food and drinks which was expensive for a family day out.
Maybe the rule should be relaxed for what you can take in so it's affordable by all

Review of Disco Tots

The prices were absolutely appalling and really tarnished what was meant to be a really enjoyable family day out. As soon as we gained entry we went to the bar to be told they didn't have half of the drinks advertised. As such my sister in law asked for a wine and was charged for a bottle..... a bottle of CHEAP wine, can of Budweiser and a bottle of water £45!?! How can you justify that?!?! Absolutely disgusting. I was also charged £7 for 2 CANS of 7up for my children and £6.50 for a can of Budweiser that was taken from a 4pack?! I'm pretty sure there's laws against selling items from multipacks?? We paid £30 to go on 2 rides, however there were no smaller rides for the younger children even though this event is aimed at TOTS. How is it they were unable to erect the FREE inflatables advertised due to the bad weather but were still able to charge and run 3 large rides?! Also Ian Vaan Dahl. Where was he from the main event? I purchased tickets hoping to see him but on the day he did not make it to the set listing. Again more false advertising. My children asked for a pineapple drink to which I was told £6 each or £10 for 2. In the space it took me to get money from my husband they had put the prices UP to £8.50 or 2 for £15?! For PINEAPPLES?! We ended up having to leave early as our children became hungry but we couldn't justify the extortionate food vendor prices.... £12.50 for a small tray of chips and a couple chicken selects?! This was a TOTS family event yet it was NOT catered towards TOTS in the slightest. Very disappointed and would NOT recommend! You should be ashamed.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Amazing outdoor comedy event. Well organised, plenty of food voice on site varying from £8-15 depending on what you want. Great comedy. Great set up

Review of Disco Tots

There wasn’t enough seating. The pictures of last years event had twice the amount of entertainment than this year. Very disappointed with the lack of things to do with the children. The food prices were crazy and to make it worse I couldn’t bring in food that my child would actually eat. There were no bouncy castles of even people walking around interacting with the kids. Compared to last year it was very disappointing. The shuttle was useless as there was too much time between them and we had to pay for taxi on top of already paying for the shuttle because if we’d waited for the shuttle we wouldn’t have gotten into the event for over an hour. We made it in time for a shuttle but it was full and they didn’t put on extra at the busiest times. The face painting was shocking the women clearly didn’t know what they were doing and they wanted £5 for someone to paint a blob on my sons face.

Review of Disco Tots

Nothing for younger children, definitely not family friendly

Review of Festival Of Comedy

Everything was great.
Glad it wasn't more wet.
Food was expensive...
And the shuttle bus was annoying, only one bus going backwards and forwards and felt like ages to wait after.. better off getting a taxi

Review of Disco Tots

As a family we had a really good time maybe could have done with a little more to occupy smaller children, understandably the weather was pretty bad so for safety the bouncy castles were canceled which would have been a welcome option. As a whole experience we thought it was a good one, plenty of food options (if a little on the pricy side) ample toilets, helpful staff were all pluses for us and would definitely recommend and come back again if we get the chance to.

Review of Disco Tots

Poor event all round!!!
•inflatables for the kids cancelled( it was the only thing that was free)
• no firebreathers or real entertainment just someone walking around waving flames shaped fans
• No food or drink allowed from outside and then the prices were extortionate, £6 for small tray of chips,£10 for a bowl of pasta,£8.50 for a pineapple filled with pineapple juice,£6.50 for a can of lager, nothing available for allergy children and yet you couldn't take your own food.
• no rides for smaller children even though it was advertised as a family event,3 big rides there but costing £5-7 a go
• acts that were advertised were a no show, no phats and small,no titchy stryder,half of sweet female attitude (who done the best set of the day to be fair to her)
With 4 children the event cost us over £75 to attend, £10 for park and ride and we spent £50 in there even though we bought no food apart from in the little shop cabin which we bought a pack of cookies,chocolate fingers and mini prongles for a fiver. I would never attend or recommend to anyone!!

Review of Festival Of Comedy

No gf free food

Review of Disco Tots

We have a child wheel chair user. due to the severe weather warnings and allowing the event to go ahead we weren’t able to attend. Hopefully we’ll be able to attend another event with better weather conditions.

Review of Disco Tots

Nothing for tots to do apart from have a little dance in one tent

I know it was set up for a previous event and it felt like it with the shisha tent and lack of tot friendly things to do, no bouncy castles or inflatables as advertised

Review of Disco Tots

Carnt review the event because I didn’t go to it we were travelling over an hour away but had nowhere to park the communication was not very good concerning this

Review of Disco Tots

Fantastic day but food and drink were overpriced. Would definitely go again.

Review of Festival Of Comedy

The comedians were great and the staff were friendly and helpful.
It’s the third year of buying the Golden Circle VIP tickets and this year it didn’t feel as good value for money. VIP bar didn’t open until first act which was much later than previous years, VIP area not welcoming and people were only using the area to go to the toilets. Very basic bar with drinks on a table. Golden Circle seats were not as comfortable as the normal seats.
Communication on the day could be improved.
Buses very slow with only two coaches for everyone so very long waiting time.

Review of Disco Tots

Circus equipment only for kids, other rides weren't age suitable. Couldn't take food/drink in,food stalls were extortionately priced! Music/event not for kids.

Review of Disco Tots

It was good but not all activities advertised were on.. also the food was well over priced.. glad the weather was OK.. also rides over priced and only 1 suitable for young children

Review of Disco Tots

Prices were terrible but that was to be expected. My main issue was that it wasnt as child friendly as it was advertised. Excuse of wind which meant no inflatables or bouncey castle even though the rides were still in operation, no mascot parade, same songs being played over and over, artists either not on or on in the wrong order so missed.
