The tribute acts were not at the times advertised so we didn't see the Taylor swifts act as it was too late for my little one. You were not allowed to bring your own food and the food in the event was very overpriced and some were poor quality. £7 for a small cup of strawberries with a drizzle of Nutella. £9 for a churro. There was only 1 monster truck. No monster truck rides as advertised. Fair ground rides were expensive. Considering you already paid for tick*ts to enter the show, then most other things to do within the showground were at an extra charge. Very poorly organised parking. A really expensive and disappointing day out to be honest.

Review of Trucks & Tunes - Cornwall - Sunday

Definitely rip off We booked weekend accommodation for the event That didn't happen not one hot air balloon or details or information on hot air balloons not even one hot air balloon company there Very very heart broken & disappointed in the event plus very hard to find as closed the road to event

Review of Balloons & Tunes - Cornwall - Saturday

Getting into the venue was a nightmare, had to queue for 45 minutes due to the way traffic was being brought into the venue down a very narrow single track lane (not sure what we would of done if emergency services needed access to any houses here!) 

When I arrived at the venue none of the car parking attendants checked my ticket to see if I had paid parking, which I had (£7!!) while others did not pay for parking at all, but annoying, wish I hadn't booked parking. 

The ticket prices didn't add up, me and my 4 year old attended, which was £18, but a family of 4 entered for £21. It much better value for a family to enter, the single ticket pricing was steep in comparison. 

The event was advertised with lots of free elements, country music, kids stage, hot air balloons, monster trucks and hourly demonstrations including  bmx, parkour, quad bikes etc. 

Yes the weather was a bit poor, it was very windy and very grey but the event didn't match up to its advertising. 

The main stage was drowned out by the fair ground music. The kids stage was tiny and played mainly chart music which was no interest to my 4 year old. 

Hot air balloons were understandably not running, only one monster truck which did 3 laps round the arena and drove over a couple cars 3 times. There were also 2 different posters for the days events, one detailing the monsters truck 'show' at 5pm, one saying 6pm, but it actually took place at 5:30pm. 

Saw no other hourly demonstrations take place apart from quad bike stunts around 6:30pm, there was only single fencing around this and they were driving quite close to the fence, it think they would if benefited from a double fence system here, like used in the main arena. 

Funfair rides were a minimum of £3 which we would of expected if going to a funfair with no entry fee, but after paying a substantial amount to get in with little free things happening it felt over priced. 

The funfair actually felt like the main attraction. 

Overall the event didn't seem to match up to what was advertised for the price of the ticket.

Hugely disappointing, false advertising, will not be using this platform to purchase any tickets in the future

Apart from the two hour wait to get in, due to not enough parking spaces despite paying for a parking spot in advance, there was only one monster truck for about 10 minutes, hugely underwhelming. No sign of Bluey and bingo characters that my son was excited for. And the icing on the cake was that we stayed until the live animal show at the end, which was just some animal puppets!

Poor event. Only one monster truck and show lasted about 4 minutes! No other monster trucks or monster truck ride as advertised

When you hear "Monster Truck Show" you expect more than 1 monster truck driving over the same 3 cars 4 times. 

The tribute acts consisted of 2 guys and the same woman doing 3 different sets (I hate to be a downer, but none of which sounded, acted or looked like the artists they were supposedly tributing).

 The bmx area could have been bigger and the people could have been happier. The guy on the bike couldn't have been any more miserable considering he's getting paid to ride his bike around.

The field was huge and had a great potential, however half of it was empty.

The kids area was the most entertaining zone, and I don't even have kids.

Review of Monster Country Festival - Cornwall

Needed a few more food carts , especially hot drink ones as sold out of stuff and queues too long for the amount of people at venue

Brilliant family friendly day out. Loved every minute of it

Had a nice time, only thing was the 16.00 hrs start, our children where under 3 so normal bedtime is 7.30 so they were tired by then, it would be nice if the first day (family day) could start at 14.00hrs for the little ones.
Overalls it's a nice event
