Absolute scam. No balloons, no live music, overpriced carnie van food, bmx 'show' was a couple of guys on a ramp stuck to a van. Overpriced everything. Basically a shoddy funfair in a field full of disappointed families. Probably won't get money back from fake "early bird" tick*ts but even if I did the time spent on it is gone. Last day of kids school holidays. What a disappointment. I see this event happens regularly. The organisers should be taken to court for wasting people's time and money.

Review of High Octane Family Fest Weekender - Orsett Showground

I would rate 0 star if i could. Didn't have half the entertainment marketed. This is a scam.

Awful event - barely anything there, bike show was poor, balloons not up, event empty

This was a complete rip off and not advertised correctly. We should be getting a refund

This is the worst family fest I've ever been to! One bouncy castle and a few food stalls! That's it! Cost £34 for tickets, for what??? And you had to pay extra if you wanted to go on the bouncy castle! We spent about 10 minutes there, then left! When we were leaving the lady on the gates let people in without paying for tickets! Made a joke of our £34!!!! If I knew who to ask for a refund I would!!!

The event didn't quite live up to the way it was presented in the promotional material. It felt overpriced for what was offered, and the organisation left a lot to be desired. I ended up leaving early, feeling quite disappointed.

The biggest waste of money! This event was atrocious. DO NOT GO! We did the whole event in 5 minutes! Appalling!!!

Very expensive entry for such a small place. Only 4 things for the kids to go on and very expensive each time. The bouncing castle was a completely rip off, I paid Â£15 for my three kids and only got 5 min to play. I spent a fortune for just couple of hours. No worth the money, absolutely disappointed!

The event was not worth it. I paid £34 and it felt like I paid that to go to a park. Never again.

Cheap to get in but expect to pay when inside. 
Adult rides £5 kids £2-3. 
Food and drink pricey but justified when you weigh up how many weekends are lost through bad weather. 
Cycle and truck performance pretty awesome!

Review of MotorFest - Orsett showground

Brilliant day out with the fam, really enjoyed it! My 4 year old had a blast and did my 9 month old!

Plenty of things for kids loads too see great day out

Great family fun. Lots of stalls and rides for little ones. Monster truck show was simple but my 5year old grandson loved it. The stunt bikes were good too. Would recommend
