This event was somewhat disorganised - after queueing for 45 mins (even though we had tickets), people were being let in at the gates ahead of us. Staff inside the park seemed unsure of giving information about timing of events, location of programmes and we could see some security staff still being briefed when we arrived at 11.30. Also the acts on various stages did not keep to the programmed timetable.
However, the Commonwealth stage acts were mostly excellent and the Strictly Come Dancing show was fun. It was difficult to get close enough to see the War Horse puppets. The Parade Ground events were very good.
We had bought picnic hampers from Carluccio's fortunately since we heard afterwards that people had to queue for ages to get food.
On the whole, it was good value for money and perhaps any future such events would be better organised.
