This is a small festival that folk put their hearts into. Friendly & good natured crowed it's let down by the torrential rain ☔That was a shame

Review of ButeFest 2016

A lovely festival. You could see there had been a lot of work put into it and it all came together to make three magical days helped by the good weather. There was something for everyone and the whole environment felt safe and family orientated. Would recommend and go back. Well done to the organisers, bands and singers, providers of entertainment and displays, food & drink suppliers and security. Well done Bute!

Great family friendly festival with a superb village setup.

Review of ButeFest 2016

a great family festival with a lovely chilled out atmosphere. great bands, and childrens entertainers and activities. Small venue means you can listen while keeping an eye on children or even back at the campsite. good range of food and drink at reasonable prices.

Review of ButeFest 2016

Excellent family friendly festival. Rich diversity of music and workshops. Enjoyed the addition of the acoustic tent this year. Good community of music fans. Facilities kept clean. Stewards friendly and welcoming while overseeing event. As a vegetarian I would have welcomed greater food choice and missed the haggis neeps and tattie van from previous year. Some recycling bins would be good too in both event and camping area. Thanks for a great weekend.

Review of ButeFest 2016

Small but perfectly formed. There's always a band on either stage, so there's something to keep you occupied. Very good for someone by themselves. Good choice of food, though could do with another coffee stall (I don't drink).

Review of ButeFest 2016

A great family and dog friendly event.
Good variety of music . Particularly enjoyed Skerryvore ,Mt Doubt , and many good bands in the smaller tent.

Review of ButeFest 2016

Music was generally very good with some good stuff on the Cal-Mac Culture tent and acoustic tent but although The Magic Numbers and Idlewild are good bands they aren't Punchy enough to headline . Gerry Cinnamon was the star of the weekend for me and he really got the crowd jumping . The fire pit was great but the bar was too far from main stage which meant you missed music standing in queue . 1 Bar was not enough and ran out of stuff every night . 3 friends arrived by yacht on saturday night and when I enquired about a price for entry for them arriving at 10:30 pm I was told £ 40 per head , not exactly promoting the event eh !! Needless to say they never came . Security should have shut down excessive partying on campsite as one particular group kept everyone awake till 04:30 am .

Review of ButeFest 2016

Totally fab weekend, weather was even on side. Kids had a great time which made the grown ups even better.
The only request I would have for next year is elsan empty point for motor homes and caravans.

Review of ButeFest 2016

Came to Butefest as the Wickerman festival was cancelled this year. Although much smaller, what a great alternative! Good weather always helps, but the whole 3 days was chilled, friendly and great atmosphere all round.

Review of ButeFest 2016

Great weekend. Weather far better than last year and made the event. Would still like to see greater selection of beers (non-craft!) on sale but understand organiser has a micro brewery so will want to ensure own products being sold. A carry oot solves the problem though!
