Thanks Shelley, we really appreciate the feedback and your support of the event. We’re pleased you enjoyed the scenery, atmosphere and organisation. On the toilets, there was unfortunately a miscommunication with the council regarding the opening of the public facilities, which we acknowledge impacted the morning. This has been noted and will be resolved for future events. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and we hope to see you back again.

Thanks Robert, really appreciate the feedback and the kind words about the organisation and our marshals. We did have some light music at the start, but as the square is also a residential area we have to be mindful of people living and sleeping nearby, which limits how loud we can go. That said, we do take the point on atmosphere on board and will look at ways to enhance it within those constraints for future events. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

On toilets, we acknowledge this fell short on the morning due to a miscommunication around facilities, which led to queues, and this will be resolved for future events.
