Review of St.Helens Gala Fest 2023
Frankly the whole experience was a joke.
We arrive and look around.... there was no signage telling people what was going in. We enter the music area to discover it was aweful. Awful mucic and aweful atmosphere. Awful stall.
We looked around for the classic cars, bouncy castles, starwars characters band and archery. When we asked about them, we where told oh, that's in the free bit. I looked around at the music area and thought "I've paid for a family ticket for that s*it show..". the staff on the gate clearly didn't want to let people out to go to the "free" area and where informed we could do it once.
Anyway we went to the free bit, and while most things where there, the classic car show (as advertised on the st Helens garla Facebook page, and the st Helens star) was nowhere to be seen. The stalls in this area where better, but not exactly great... Rock bingo for example. The classic car show was nowhere to be seen. We saw at least 1 stall holde packing up, and heard others complaining about the poor organisation.
2 of my party went for food at approximately 3 30 pm, and where told that they had ran out of food at about 3 30 pm... What poor planning was that!!!!
The brass band was nice, but everything else about both the "free" and "paid for" event was awful.
I'd like this message passing to Johnny Vegas, as somebody clearly let him down yesterday.
Feeling: Conned
Reason: apart from a small note on the top of celebrity bowles (I've had to go back and find it) it was not clear at all that two events where happening. One paid for and one "free" I would not have entered the music area if I had of known, and I'd likely still have left disappointed at wasting time at the free area.

Review of St.Helens Gala Fest 2023
We really enjoyed the event. Great atmosphere and music. The only criticism we have is that on the website it stated no bags bigger than A4, chairs or umbrellas however we witnessed other festival goers being allowed entry with these items.
