Old Park Farm Margam Port Talbot reviews by real event-goers

Review of In It Together 2023

I understand the no glass bottles rule but a small perfume bottle? You don’t walk around all day holding your perfume aloft so that I think was way over the top. Yes i was told I could retrieve it at the end of the day but to find the correct box was impossible so left without it. £70 down the drain on top of the of the extortionate prices at the bar. No choice but to pay it as weren’t allowed to bring our own. Principally a Money making enterprise for the council methinks and the enjoyment of of the people an afterthought

Review of Old Park Farm Margam

Great festival but the bad points really did let it down.

The toilets were rank and never clean and not enough of them so the queues were horrendous. Showers broke down in the campsite so queuing again. Food needed more variety and the whole place needs to be a lot cheaper. Restricting booze to the campsites was ridiculous. Families should be allowed to take food into the arena as the food choices weren't focussed on kids at all. I know it's a festival (I've been to enough to know) but the prices for food and drink in the main arena were just ridiculous and really hampered the weekend.

The kids field with all the activities and rides was great. The choice of artists was great.

I hope the cost is really reduced for food and drinks and toilet situation is rectified for next year as this could truly be a fab festival. Roll on next year!

Great venue so close to home

Review of Old Park Farm Margam

Could be great but certain areas need improving. Biggest issue for me was it being labelled as a family festival. It clearly wasn't. No different from any other festival we've been too. Trying to hard to impress every demographic. Crack down on drugs/improve toilets/limit your numbers . Prices sky high but that's to be expected in this day and age. Lots of negative reviews and can't disagree with a lot of their issues tbh. Would love to go back next year but going to hang fire and see if organisers address the major issues first!

Review of IN IT TOGETHER: Sports Academy

Great idea! But we didn’t find the Sports Academy.
Found crazy science, circus skills, skateboarding, hay bails and rides for the kids and a show inside the wonky lizard tent for the kids which was Awesome…but no sports academy.

Review of In It Together - Exclusive Add Ons

Great event, I had the VIP tickets but due to poor security the bands were being handed over for other people to access. Next year you need to stop this happening as this caused the area to be overcrowded.

Only thing is there was very little shade I burnt really bad despite applying sunscreen regularly through the day

Review of In It Together 2023

where to start, really. security were bullies. more interested in targeting older people rather than focusing on the wild teenagers throwing bottles of urine and sick amongst the crown or snorting **tamine and cocaine in the tents. it was more important to take cans of pepsi off young kids. the rules in place were ridiculous. made it impossible to enjoy. if your face fitted you were OK. ours didn't. I'm surprised you actually know I was there as no one scanned my tickets

Review of Old Park Farm Margam

Great music and atmosphere. Weather helped. Good kids area - showed a film, the footie (although £7.50 pint in disposable plastic), space for kids to play at top by main stage.
Prices were ridiculous, to make this a family friendly event they should allow for soft drinks and snacks. £47 for a bag of pick n mix! £3.50 for a soft drink. £40 for 4 meals from chippy. Not many drinking taps on campsite or event - often not working or warm.
Not enough toilets. Paid for loo upgrade- over £100- dirty, no toilet roll and queues. 11 showers in upgraded area, 1 hour queue and 1 1/2 miles away from family campsite- not great with kids. Also closed for a long period. Security not checking bands and allowing traders jump the queue. Have emailed the event for loo refund- no reply.
Security talking loudly outside tents on family campsite at 5am, asleep on entrance early morning.
Volunteers to litter pick may also be an idea and allowing families to park in the family car park as advertised.
It was a good event, just more toilets/showers in upgraded areas. Cheaper/healthier traders, allow kids snacks/drinks in. Litter pickers and ?sniffer dogs? Also, maybe remind the performers it’s a family event so to tone down the language slightly?

Review of In It Together 2023

Poor layout did not have sufficient water taps toilets or waste disposal areas so very far to walk to main arena and not mobility scooter friendly due to all this we left two days early it’s a shame but think the event has grown and outstripped the amenities

Review of Chargecandy at In It Together Festival

I used charge candy and used 4 chargers , they were not value for money , they did not fully charge an I phone 13 pro.

Review of IN IT TOGETHER: Sports Academy

There were no signs directing us to the sports academy, it wasn’t listed on the site map, no one seemed to know where it was, and the times of the events were wrong. Glad it was free otherwise the review would have been even more negative.

Review of In It Together 2023

It was a 6/10 festival. Beer and food way over priced, not enough toilets (some areas 30 min wait) when you have children needing to go every hour. Even had to queue for VIP toilets for over 30/40 mins. We had a good time though and the weather was great.. I won’t go again though.

Review of IN IT TOGETHER: Sports Academy

Organisers are clearly just in it for the money. If you have children or mobility issues, for the love of god don't go. If you're a younger person who wants to get wasted and doesn't mind horrendous toilets, long queue's and wants to spend a fortune, you might have a passable time with the right line up.

Review of In It Together 2023

It was OK, lots of stuff for the kids which was great, but poorly signposted over the three days. Took us 3 hours to get into the festival on Friday. Were sent the wrong way on Saturday to get in and had to walk all the way around with young ones and go through re-entry twice which meant we missed a show I wanted to take the kids too. Stewards/staff were providing different information on where to go. Signage was the main downfall for me. It would have been good to be sent info. about what was on in the kiddies area too with times, etc. It was a first experience for me with the kids, so full on but I did enjoy, wouldn't go back again though, would prefer to try a festival better suited to my music taste and ideals.

Review of IN IT TOGETHER: Sports Academy

This was billed as a family friendly festival and although the activities and entertainment for the children was great, the brimming porta lools and general poor sanitation, along with the crowds of drunk and high teens/young adults which we had no choice but to navigate, made it unsuitable for small children IMO. I think this festival is trying to be too many things to too many different people.
