The event was great. Would love to join in again next year.

 Lovely atmosphere, we do wish the grounds would be better prepared (I.e. grass isn't so high - understand that isn't so easy). I'd suggest more branding at the event, and signage around to direct parking. Kids missed the animals in the forest!

 Enjoyed the day overall. Fortunately the weather was reasonably good and the bit of rain didn't ruin they day. A couple of things that didn't go well sadly. My parents are elderly and although there was disable parking it was not clear that we could drop them off there along with my our infant and his buggy, so we all had to make the trek from the far end of the parking through the camp site path and little forest. My mother really struggled with the walk and my father....

 love this event! Keep them coming every year please :)

   Well organised event. Really enjoyed , I t was worth driving from Dublin to attend the event. See you again next year.

 Couldn’t watch the rugby game as the tent was not only too small but the screen was so dull, we could barely see anything. Hardly any music played aside from the live band which was great. Extremely long lines for food. Underwhelming for our first time at this event.

   Amazing day out, unfortunately the weather wasn't the best this year but that did not dampen anyone's day as everyone still made the most of it, smiles all around and a bonus to have shown the SA V ireland game. Great organisation and well done to all involved.

       We would like to have more toilet discussion And bins, And music to suit every culture, as we are a rainbow nation and need everyone to feel like we were at home

  First time at the event. Met up with some people we knew. The musicians were great!

 I was very disappointed with the event. I was excited to enjoy SA foods and watch rugby with fellow Saffas, but neither happened. The rugby tent was too small for the crowd, and more space should have been provided given the number of online ticket sales. Considering we are in Ireland, an indoor event would be much more suitable due to the frequent rain. Amazing concept however more planning is needed.

     The day was fantastic overall. I however would recommend next time that a large marquee is consider for the rain.

   The tent for the rugby should have been bigger

   Overall purchasing tickets on the site was easy. I had to go back in to purchase parking tickets separately

   Great initiative to bring all Saffas here in Ireland together, great setup. That said, there wasn't enough entertainment

   We arrived a little late at 2:30pm but still we expected still to have live music at the event. Or at least some form of music to make the event alive. What was the €20.00 entrance fee for?

   Maybe we should consider day time event especially in summer

   Thank you

   I'd love it if you can have it three times or more a year💯

  Great day out with a large group of people...could have a few more food stalls if possible (waited between 30-60 mins for food) and at least one other bar (could be the same brand but at the location near the open grass area). If possible a play area for kids (jumping castle, a few soccer balls, toys, etc)

 Would have liked more toilets and showers at the campsite, also for these to be cleaned regularly and there was no water for hand washing at the toilets. Very few vendors and the vendors that were there lacked enough staff to manage the queues. Would have been nice to have a porter service at the car park to help attendees to the camp site and event location. We enjoyed the campsite in the apple orchards and had a wonderful time meeting other SAFFAs.

   Venue was good, toilets could have done with a clean

   Could do with more toilets for the campers and possibly allow parking next or in campsite.

   I attended with an Irish visitor and although the visitors and crowd seemed to be enjoying the day , I felt that there were a too few exhibitors and the would loved to see many more historic and cultural stands showing off South Africa. I realise and thank all those who worked so hard to put it together and hope it will be supported fully going forward

     Great vibe, great location and a good selection of stalls. It was a pity the bar was managed by 2 people but the drinks were great, definitely would have lived a prego but understandable if people don’t sign up to sell them at the event.

     Music not great, no real line up. Engagement with crowd not great either. Food selection very limited. Long ques so more vendors would have been better. I was looking forward to getting some goodies like pap, chakalaka, simba chips, fig jam, etc but there were just a few vendors for cooked food. Overall a bit underwhelming and was told by others that this gathering was not as great as the previous ones.

     The parking and entry and online booking was excellent as usual but the day was not an upgrade from last year’s event unfortunately. The weather was good again this year. We like this event and it should be continued every year but need to keep standards up.

     5 🌟

 Best event ever! Had a absolutely fantastic time, everything from start to finish was great. Can't thank the organizers enough for all they've done. Looking forward to next year again!

     First time going & enjoyed it all! Well organised with good selection of market stalls selling South African goods, jewellery & food. Music was great too! We would like to attend again!

   Fabulous event. Very well organised

       Vendor as fistt grocery stall waa v rude and racost

 I arrived late in the afternoon - spectacular location and place was busy but not as many people as I had anticipated. Food stalls were good as usual and plenty of tables and toilets Well set out and organised.

 Love attending the events and each time it gets better and better!

   There was room for improvement especially for the kids. No jumping castle or playground. Many of them landed by the volleyball nets where one toddler even broke his leg due to someone falling on him.

   Ablutions were terrible

  First time , thought is was very well organized. We camped for the 2 nights and that was the only real issue we had. We were all asked before hand in an email that there was a noise curfew between midnight and 8am . Unfortunately that was not notited by a few. Music was bleering until 3am Saturday morning and until 2am on Sunday morning. There was no one to police it and the camp site was full of kids. Would love to come back next year but probably will not camp. 😤

 Fantastic as always. Venue was great but would like to have seen the toilets cleaner. Shower facilities could've been better. Overall everything else was perfect.

 So far we have thoroughly enjoyed all of the gatherings we’ve been to. We would go to more if there were more to go to.

   Great event

   Great event. Good vibe, music and food. Shower and washing facilities would be nice

   Great event!

   We had a wonderful day, great food and stalls and a fantastic MC. Well done. We will be back next year.

         Amazing 👏🙀😮😲 But music should have been better

     It was a great event, however, I felt that the space was too small for the number of people attending and queuing to purchase items. I was also disappointed that the Biryani Box was not open. Perhaps next year there could be some child friendly activities, like face painting.

     Well done; we thoroughly enjoyed the day. My one issue was that we arrived on the Friday and, at no stage were we offered any raffle tickets. The raffles took place on stage before we learned where to purchase them. Pity, otherwise a great event.

   I found the picnic area was located too far from the food stations. The food stalls were not spread out enough. There wasn't enough staff working for the quantity of people queuing for food. I stood in line for 40 minutes to get a boerewors roll and another 20 odd minutes in line for drinks. Overall, great presence but a slight tweaking on the semantics would make the next gathering flow more effortlessly. Well done on organising this amazing event! Thank you.

   Very well organised. Parking, food stalls, clean toilets. The whole thing was brilliantly done. Thank you Berilyn and team.

   Great day.

   Fantastic weekend, well organised.

   Good day. Would have put the biltong sellers and dundalk treat in different corners of the hall

   Long queues and not very much organisation!

 Efficient and well done!

   Good organisation...stall layouts should be addressed for future gatherings...a little disjointed to be honest. Great day out...

  Was great. Could provide more tips before the event of what to bring with to sit on etc. Also, tickets should be limited to how many people are available to cater, especially the drinks. Perhaps advertise for more people to cater. Also please look at data privacy, was very uncomfortable with the drone flying around and everyone’s full name on a spreadsheet at the entrance.

   Not one Afikaans song was played Food and drink stalls was not enough for the amount of people the queues was to long we had to spend a lot of time standing in queues. Not enough bins Long queues to enter. Better organisation would of relieved some of the stress the staff endured. On the possitive side we had great weather

  More portable loos and cleaned more frequently Bar closer to entertainment that serves wider non alcoholic beer options. Hellbent increased their price from 5-7 for a boerewors roll by the evening. I find this quite greedy

   SUPERB!! Even the weather!

   It was great to see so many South Africans BUT you guys need to work on two things. More stalls and better bands. Those bands were kak! And the stalls were great but the queues were ridiculous. More stalls, more people with milktart and supplies. More boerie rolls!

   Very poor organising, long queues, limited food stalls, toilets appalling

 Great experience from beginning to the end
