I was impressed!! The entertainment was good and varied, the beer was good, I liked the voucher system, and the children's play area was well supervised. My family and I really look forward to next years' festival.....what a change it made to see no trouble, and everyone enjoying themselves as adults, children and tourists should.
I went both Friday and Saturday, and the firework display was spectacular on Friday, but I imagine due to the winds that the Saturday display was cut short.........The only bit I didn't enjoy was the shortage of stalls, but I expect as years pass it will grow???
