It saddens me to say it but LFF has gone way down in the last year. Last time we were there for 20 minutes, then left. £5 is a bit rich for that and they must try harder if LFF is to survive.
As a matter of interest, what did you expect or hope to see or experience? |
I think it fair to say we all expected
something for the £5 admission.
There was no security at all. Some years ago I was there when water-bombs were being thrown at visitors. There is still nothing mobile [human] to protect or secure the venue against unwelcome interest.
The venue isn't suitable for people wearing heels. Just ain't safe either for the shoes, or more importantly, the wearer. Again, visitor safety is ignored, or certainly isn't important.
Most visitors are probably misled by the term 'market'. There were perhaps 8 or 9 vendors. Four of these sold a selection of sex toys, and one a 'sex-swing'. Three others sold girls dress accessories. I think one or two sold odd bits and pieces of 'fantasy' clothes. We saw one pair of HH boots. [One style, two sizes?] There was a fire-eating demo, but what has this to do with "fetish"?
On balance, ANY Ann Summers shop has a better range, and is free. Plus they are local to most of us now, and open most days. No trauma for heels either.
There was no consolation prize to be had .... lunches were off the menu!!! The bar had a gig on, and the chef was off 'sick'. What happened there? National shortage on people who can cook?
No advance warning about the video crew on the web-site. Was a PITA. Many people arrived, stayed for 15 minutes (time it took to walk around browsing) and left. We were there for over 2 hours, and I don't remember anyone buying anything.
IMO, a complete rip-off. And worse, a waste of effort on the part of any visitor. A gig best avoided. I wouldn't visit again, even if it were free!
