Have seen Madness, Paul Weller, Plan B ,Simple Minds and Simply Red, great venue, going down to the stage and looking back up the hill is a very impressive sight, looking forward to next year, just seen Paul Weller has signed up for Thetford and Westonbirt, hope he is back at Delamere as he is a class act.

Went to watch Will Young in July with my boyfriend - was perfect. The forest was beautiful, Will Young was amazing and it was one of the last times we were properly happy together. Will never forget that day and the burgers were nice too.

went to see brilliant Will Young concert in July with my husband who is in a wheelchair. Disabled viewing area is great but have to say a very steep slope to push someone up, especially when it is wet and muddy. Could do with a few more non-meat food facilities.

Exceptional concerts. Top rate performers and great atmosphere (despite sundays downpour) Small queue at designated car park, but good natured and staff more than friendly keeping it running smoothly. Can't wait for next year!

Amazing setting for any concert. Very relaxed & charming atmosphere where it is impossible to get a bad view. Take your folding chair, picnic & enjoy! Only query is getting out of the car park afterwards - no stewards WITHIN the car park to control traffic direction!

Just returned from Will Young...excellent venue, great view from everywhere! Only down side is slow moving on the way out, but this is to be expected and it helps if people are curteous and patient. Will definately be attending again!! In fact contemplating tickets for the Wombats on Sunday as there are some remaining!!

I have just had the misfortune to drop-off and pick up my wife from the Will Young Concert. The traffic control was beyond a joke! We were advised to note where the drop off point was but, on returning, found out (eventually!!) that the pick up point had changed.A two hour round trip from Crewe to Delamere? I could have made it to London in that time! Add to that the general milling around of the Hi-Viz Jacket Brigade Stewards & Police) with no apparent idea of how to handle traffic, made for a frosty return journey. The only upside was I didn't have to suffer the 'Turns'. Thanks- but no thanks.

Steve R, 7/Jul/2012

Steve, thanks for your comments and apologies for the inconvenience caused. Due to the weather conditions we were forced to move the pick up/ drop off point.

I have been to a number of concerts at Delamere - Simply Red, Heather Small and UB 40. We had Great weather, the layout was good - being on an incline - everyone had a good view - not too large and it was well organised. Great to take a picnic !!! 5*

sjs, 27/Jun/2012

Can we bring our own food and drink

Anonymous, 26/Jun/2012

Yes as long as your picnic does not contain cans, glass or metal cutlery. Alternatively we have food units and a bar on site.
