This was a complete rip-off. You had to queue for well over an hour to get anything including drinks, the wine ran out, the the music tents so tiny that hardly anyone could get inside, the security were lunatics. It was awful and a waste of a good opportunity and sunny day, through greedy incompetent organizers.

^^What they said.
The first thing I encountered was a queue of people waiting to complain at the information booth.
Although the organisers did send round an email saying sorry for being disorganised.
(the site http://www.fielddayfestivals.com/ still says ' full travel festival info coming soon' hah!)

"all the charm of a village fete?"
great idea, terrible organisation.
^^^What they said, and very disappointed by the lack of karaoke, quiz rave, burlesque, brass band, welly throwing, morris dancing and the pathetic lack of fete type activities at all!!
Vegan food? hello??? Couldn't even leave to get some and come back in.
i still have a bad taste in my mouth from this event, and lots of groveling to do to all our friends we got to go....
where do we get our money back?
the organisers should be sued under the trades descriptions act for false advertising.

I didn't get to go but I read a post mortem for the event (here: http://www.spoonfed.co.uk/spooners/domzig-172/field-day-409/) and it sounded like it was just miserable. I can't even imagine it being enjoyable even with such an amazing lineup. Did anyone have a good time??
