We want to see the pictures from the fancy dress in the flamingo Jack’s as we won the free vip tickets for next year, but still haven’t seen any pictures of it!!!
Better VIP experience after queues of 3 plus hours on Thursday to get into festival. Only one hut doing VIP. Also went to musical bingo queued to get in then told wasn’t enough bingo cards !?!?
Family camping area was perfect in relation to the carpark however check in was horrific 4 and a half hours with children in a field with no toilets. Missed most of the day and the acts also the circus/children’s area was far to small for what is deemed to be a family festival …it used to be out in the open with a big top type tent …the shopping area etc was brilliant in how it was set up but far to small for the volume of families trying to use it X
Other than that we had the best time ever !
Just sort the queuing to get in/re enter everything else was on point!
A bigger tent for DJ’s 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
The entry was a nightmare. The VIP lane was not made clear at all till we’d already queued an hour and when we got in the actual queue for VIP it was actually slower the the normal queue. Not much VIP about that lol. Barely any marshalls about or some loos for the queue on the way in.
Showers in the VIP nightmare 🤦🏻♂️ didnt work friday, 8 simply not enough you need double that.
Personally id like to see Noel Gallagher, Gerry Cinnamon, The Sherlocks and The Reytons (on main stage).
Toilets in all camping areas, just glad I didn’t get caught short in the night. Move the urinals. Sort out the queuing system out, straight lines instead of snaking us up and down the hill. Other than that had a blast
Getting in. Absolute shambles. Chaos. Signage. Live in vehicles maybe not on a hill?
Fantastic line-up for 2022! Kudos! Would like to see Matt Peach and Kelsey Karter again next year! They were dynamite! Would also love to see in 2023, the incomparable Harriet Rose Grant ! 🤩🤞
We had the BEST time at YNot festival but if we had to say…The entertainment in the kids field was brilliant but maybe more space for them to play/run around in and we would have really appreciated a baby tent. Better drinks selection – beer (other then the craft tent) and cider choices in particular was poor. The urinals being in the middle of the toilet area was so grim. And better access for early bird Thursday would be good – we queued for ages to get in and then again at the shed for our wristbands, there were loads of people behind us who would definitely have missed a lot of Thursday evening’s entertainment 🤩👍🏻
Need better beer and cider options. Good was great. Loved we could take our own drinks in!
The Reytons on main stage but not day time!
The K’s! Not early!
The chase again! Love them!
Bilk
The Luka State
The Skinner Brothers
The superlatives
So basically reading the replies nothing as been learned from previous years I would have thought with over 2yrs of planning and government furlough money it would be a lot better but it looks like it’s all about the profit.
Separate areas for the urinals
A better entry system for camping
Wider walkway by flamingo jacks
And book SHED SEVEN!!!!!!!!!
That aside we had the best time thanks

More than 12 loos in live-in vehicle field. Most don’t have one on board.
Accessing the accessible field for live in vehicles was very difficult. Marshall’s directing didn’t seem to know or care where they were sending people & it could have been signposted better. A young girl who was more interested in her phone than directing us to the right place sent us to the access car park & told us to camp there! When another camper showed us the right place I offered her feedback so she knew & her response was “i don’t care”! Sadly this was the same with a few of the security staff during the weekend. The walkway from accessible camping to the arena wasn’t the best. It was very rocky & uneven. I use crutches & struggled a lot with it especially on Saturday night when it rained & rubber mats were placed over cables I actually fell when my crutches slipped on it. It didn’t help that there was no lighting to guide the way down the side of the toilets! I would also say that the viewing platform could be larger as we were only able to use it once during the weekend & one security guard was allowing anyone on there not only accessible people & their carers. A positive note for accessible camping was the ladies at check in were amazing & couldn’t have been more helpful. All that said we have been to this festival for at least 6 years now & we love it lots, so much so we’ve booked again for next year! We’d love to see Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood, Madness (again) Beth Hart, Amyl & The Sniffers….. See you next year 😎
Live in vehicles field didn’t have enough toilets or showers and the kids area should be bigger. More bins needed because the amount of litter on the floor was vile.
We had a great time!
To improve:
•Water access! As there was no water on the campsite (all 3 stations) on Sunday.
•Signposting to the main entrance from the carpark.
•Some sort of dividing wall for the urinals would be good.
•Recycling points with spare bags to take to campsite.
•Better phone signal?😅
More toilets definitely,more entrances especially if wet
More toilets in the carpark,2 toilets is not enough when folk have driven a long way to get there on the Thursday and apparently there weren’t any in the family carpark 🙈
Cider on draught was rubbish (lemon & lime and a blue one!!) & £6.90 for a small can of rekorderlig was extortion
The writing size on the screens at side of Gin Stage was wayyyy too small
Reckon the fabulous Harriet Rose would be a great addition to the lineup
Watchtower Bar – used to have really cider on tap, please bring it back!!
Please don’t have the mens urinals where the female kids are using the cubicles. Otherwise everything else was perfect this year
Don’t charge the venders so much to stand, so they don’t have to charge so much for what they’re selling,
ps I’m not a vender
Gerry Cinnamon, Sam fender, Bon Jovi, Pink, Madness just for a start 🙂👍
Had an awesome weekend… however more toilets needed in arena and live in vehicle field, urinals should be in seperate area to the toilets, more regular cleaning of loo’s. Thought it was tight charging same price for stubby can of cider as the lager
