Very overpriced. Must admit it was a bit dusty but nothing that couldn't be sorted out with a pair of sunglasses. <br /><br />I do believe that the site has great potential, and considering it was free, I think it was a fantastic evening for me. <br /><br />This is how I saw it:Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214073469779503298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617787042475515385.post-12989367019928993692012-07-04T16:57:05.636+01:002012-07-04T16:57:05.636+01:00I agree with everyone - unfortunately your lovely ...I agree with everyone - unfortunately your lovely green photo of the former Paradise Gardens was nothing like this year's event. Most importantly, nothing close to a garden was in site! Extrememly dusty, windy, overpriced alcohol and definitely not family friendly.

Dystopian, industrial wasteland throwing up dust everywhere, braying trustafarians and out of it loons everywhere, and pure extortion if you wanted a drink or a bite to eat. Bag searches and liquid confiscations at the gates ensured that you had no choice but to pay £4.50 for a can of lager (RRP £1). If this is a family event, then that family must be the Manson Family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617787042475515385.post-57893849357767580872012-06-30T20:23:34.474+01:002012-06-30T20:23:34.474+01:00I popped down there today and I think it would hav...I popped down there today and I think it would have made a nice day out but unfortunately the wind was kicking up dust everywhere and I couldn't hack it. Shame because I really like the second to last band on tonight - the correspondents. Watching everyone in the swing band tent was fun though.Ginglesnuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254189538193183395noreply@blogger.com
