Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Apart from George Michael act (he was out of tune) we absolutely loved it

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Excellent first Woodshrop, very laid back festival. Some problems with the sound but it didn't impact too much. Tom Jones, Tina Turner, Elvis and Michael Jackson were all incredible. Fantastic line up with music for everyone. The weather was a worry but we got very lucky. We'll be back again, can you hold it earlier in the year so we can camp, it's too cold at the end of September.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

This event was amazing from start to finish.

The selection of varied music genre was fantastic covering everyone's taste.

Well done to the guys who organised this event 👏

The venue was spot on. Toilet block could do with slight update but apart from that was great plenty of space between campers.

We will definitely be attending next year, fantastic Woodshrop keep up the amazing work.


And may I say to whom ever placed the review regarding Wednesbury people, me, my wife and family spent most of the nights under the tents provided for bad weather and saw nothing that was out of order, being from that area find it very offensive that you tarnish everyone with the same brush.

All we saw all weekend was people from different backgrounds, age groups and areas all having an amazing time together.

Shame on you, but wish you happiness in you small minded world, where you think everyone from one area is bad.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Very laid back tribute festival, well organised, not expensive, staff were lovely, the venue is great if you have never been it is a great campsite, acts were good, even the bad ones as we all enjoyed it. There as a group and it was perfect for us, could take chairs and drinks to show to watch, food stalls available, market stalls too although they all shut quite early but may have been weather. Did think would have been a bigger fairground as was only one ride but again may be weather related and personal as wanted to go to the fair! overall great value for money and would recommend

Excellent festival. Fabulous atmosphere and very friendly helpful staff who even gave our motor home a jump start.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

The staff were very helpful - Emma (Joss Events) really went out of her way to help. Thank you Emma. Music for all tastes but The Queen, Tom Jones and Michael Jackson tributes in particular, put on a fantastic show. However I felt that most of the acts could have benefitted with some more ‘oomph’ through the sound system. A good weekend - really enjoyed it.

Whole family had a great time. Entertaining and enjoyable festival. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere all weekend.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Thoroughly enjoyed this small festival. Staff very helpful. The DJ was amazing!! Most of the acts were great, but in particular Dusty Springfield, The Bee Gees, ABBA and Elvis. Not good was George Michael & Dolly Parton (they were terrible). I'll be booking for next year.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Overall it was a fabulous festival, especially given that it was the first one of these that Emma and Oli had organised, we didn't get to see all of the Artists, but the acts we did catch were all very good, particularly liked the Michael Jackson impersonator, only downside for us was the venue was a bit tired and definitely in need of some TLC, hoping that the organisers can bring this to other parts of the country (Kent) as we would definitely go again.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

We had a great time at the festival. The only criticism I have is not being able to leave during the day then not being able to get back with the car till 4pm. This is the 1st festival I've been to that locks you in... but other than that brilliant.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be booking for next year. The line up of artists was great and most of them sounded fab.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Superb weekend, all very friendly, will be there next year.

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Brilliant weekend , well organised camping site was excellent. See you next year 😊

Review of Woodshrop'23 Festival

Great small and friendly event. Using a full-time camping site worked really well with tarmac/hardcore access so no getting stuck and great toilet/shower facilities. The best things was the fantastic choice of artists - WELL DONE! It was great to see some proper talented musicians interspersed with the pre-recorded stuff - real live music is appreciated by the audience. Please do the same next year.
