"Won’t do it again"

I have done a number of gin festivals and this is by far the worst
Yes you get a bag and glass and straw but I feel a the main aim is for you to buy drinks not sample gins and meet vendors
12 stalls offering samples, one place to obtain food and 4 bars selling drinks
I will not be doing this one again

"Way too expensive …"

I had a nice time as went with close family but just working out what I spent …. For four G&Ts it was £44 !? Ok you get a glass and a reusable bag and straw ….
Yes you sample from the vendors but only a tiny taste neat , so won’t be going again , was a bit cheaper last time

"Badly organised with a tables manned…"

Badly organised, tables manned by one person in many cases, and max 2 on a few, there was a sea of people of at least 4 lines thick infront of each table, plus people queuing out of the door into the hallway to enter the room and try a shot of gin to taste, no organisation whatsoever.
The concert was yet again poorly organised and not enough staff to even order a drink.
Staff were rude and unprofessional, very childish, big egos and appeared to be embarrassed of who they worked for when asked. Extremely badly run, I have never been to such an event, a waste of money.
I only gave one star , as I couldn't add the review without choosing one!!! rubbish event. No doubt I won't get an email to apologise.

"Losely Park 12 noon to 9pm"

Losely Park 12 noon to 9pm. £39.50 vip seat (with beautiful flower arrangement on tables)… a cotton bag, tin of water, packet of crisps, 2 gins (at specific bar) a seat in vip area with waiter service (no service until 4.30 & barely any staff). We were lucky as it was gorgeous weather so it was a lovely afternoon with friends outside in the sun. The selection of food was good and atmosphere fun. Music generally good.

Downsides
There were gin samples but everything had to be tried neat first, I think I lost my pallet for gin. All samples (except for 1) we’re served in plastic, we tried reusing ours. Any drinks bought were also served in plastic cups. The plastic wastage was saddening. Previous gin experience we were given a ginfest glass that we reused every tine we bought drinks and also a nice little keep sake, also provided with a menu of different gins and flavours from around the World and then chose off of that menu, buting a whole g&t each time but much more choice, it was better (Guildford Cathedral approx year 2014-18)

"Utter utter dissapointment from start…"

Utter utter dissapointment from start too "couldn't end quick enough"!
Entertainment was one lady singing inside on the hottest day of the year and it was Frankly painful !.
The "Food" on offer was just the cafe bar with a choice of 2 boxed salads or CAKE ?! ... NEVER have I been sipping a gin to stop and think " oooh a slice of chocolate cake would go lovely with this " ?!!!
6 tasting tents outside whilst everything else was inside - inside was dark hot , no seating, half a dozen small tables too stand at ( most people were sat on the stairs or the floor).
HUGE empty space outside with absolutely no cover or Entertainment.. it was just bizarre ... even the poor ticket staff didn't have any shade too escape too .... I think "Festival" is a bit far fetched and it should be "Gin taster" as the title... would I bother again .. absolutely not
.... We even left our "free" Fever tree Gin glass (that you had to use all day for your drinks) .. why would I take that home with me .. it would look like you had pinched it from a pub ?!.
The other free gifts were a pen that didn't work a metal straw and plain cotton bag .. the straw and bag we kept ... HIGHLIGHT of the day was the hilarity of us sitting on a giant deckchair... says it all I think.

"Not going next year"

This could have been a good event but the music was 2nd rate and the drinks very expensive..thank god for the beer fly stand ...to think how much we paid well in advance to get in.
We will not be going next time .

"This is a complete FRAUD"

This is a complete FRAUD! Do not pay these people, read Facebook reviews and pages. All events are cancelled last minute for the same excuse “they couldnt secure a venue”. NO refunds given and NO response to emails, contact forms, website enquires or Facebook messages. ALL events the same. They take your money and you get nothing. They keep changing the event name so get away with it.

"Gin and fizz festival in York - what a ripoff!"

Attended gin and fizz festival in York. What a rip off. £20 for entry and we got a cheap labelled glass and a choice of gin shots. Lower floor there were two stands providing samples. Upper floor there were 3 gin bars offering up to 12 gins for which we had to buy tokens for £20 which got us 4 gins. Of the first gins we tried, 1 was ok , 2 were mediocre and one was undrinkable. There were no local gins such as York Gin or Harrogate gin.

No tasting notes, just a list of gins.
£100 wasted.

"Why is nobody replying to my emails or…"

Why is nobody replying to my emails or Instagram messages?! The event is this weekend and I need help!

"Terrible experience"

Terrible experience - Don't bother.

Hardly any Gin sellers there, large open, empty room with a few empty tables. You HAVE to buy a drinks card at £20 each for 4 drinks; you can't just buy 1 or 2 drinks for example. We got a cheap B&M shot of gin on the way in which was AWFUL.
Terrible atmosphere, crap music, no food.
Biggest waste of money ever - never again!
How they can sell tickets to this rubbish is beyond me. You're better saving your money and going to a bar for a drink or two!
