Review of Northampton Town Festival

Review of Northampton Town Festival

The lay out of site was a little to organised.
A good event but the prices are to much.
Everyone is suffering at the moment. Even fun fairs.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

maybe just not my style music, but for someone probably will be 5 stars. rest all good.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Not many events at the show. Poor number of stalls, compared to previously. Prices for drinks and food extortionate. Food poor.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

I would like to have seen a bigger range of food. Maybe some noodles, or Spanish paella, curries or something that you can find in some festivals nowadays. There were too many places that sold burgers and hotdogs, so would have liked to see more variety. The kebabs were fantastic though! We also liked the shows with the motorbikes as it is a bit different to what you usually find, which was great! Well done!

There was very little there. All good stools and funfair saw no balloons

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Review of Northampton Town Festival

The event was plagued with giant flying beetle of which isn’t the event organisers fault.
But it was a traumatic experience for our kids.
We were chasing by a thousand flying beetle.
So we had to vacate the venue??

Review of Northampton Town Festival

I lived here to a long time it’s the worst one I’ve seen in years.
For me it was just a big fun fair
Friday nights music was one man ione stage unaccompanied I thought this was awful so did my partner,
the amount of talent we have in Northampton aswell .
There was no sense of community what so ever it was very commercial .

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Unbelievably overpriced. Me and my children normally get tickets and go each day. We went on the Friday night to see the balloon glow and fireworks which were good. But based on the cost of rides, food, drink, and the quality of stalls we decided not to go on Saturday and Sunday.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Horrible. Waste of time and money

Review of Northampton Town Festival

none

Review of Northampton Town Festival

£5 parking seemed excessive. £2.60 entry seemed reasonable - but might exclude some who really need something to do and can't afford the more expensive corporate events.
Stalls were same (dull) as last year. Displays were the same (dull) as last year...
It was disappointing but I like to support community events.
What about animal displays or petting, wider variety of craft stalls, creative events, smaller music stands, face painting, hair braiding, temporary tatoos,

Review of Northampton Town Festival

There were not much to see for grown ups, and we shouldn't had to pay to take the kids to a funfair, the fireworks was to a minimum, what happend to the big fireworks? Everything was to a minimum. Npton show is not like it used to be. Sadly disappointed.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Fantastic atmosphere well organised.
High price.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

The festival and atmosphere was very good however I found the Rides far to expensive so unfortunately didn’t go on any of them as adds up when there is 3 of you, also the food wasn’t great 25 pound for two meals and it wasn’t even that nice to be honest but atmosphere good, weather spoilt it a bit but overall ok

Review of Northampton Town Festival

Was smaller and less interesting than I remembered. It used to cover the whole Racecourse before. Not one small corner. Prices were a rip-off and it seem to consist mostly of fun fair rides that a complete rip-off too. We left after 1hr and won't bother goin again, unless there big improvements.

Review of Northampton Town Festival

This festival used to be great, lots of character balloons, loads of stalls, and funfair. The entertainment in the main arena was pretty poor this year. And obviously the weather caused problems for the ballonists. It has really gone downhill.
