Red Cactus Events Reviews 

booked old school sports day.
arrived at the venue on time, host wasn't there. when they did arrive they didn't have the trophy's / medals, unware they were an extra purchase ( lack of internal communication) had to call the office myself to resolve. The sports equipment very shabby and broken not all bags had a full kit, for the price would of expected better quality. The venue though was amazing, and the staff there were extremely helpful, the buffet they provided was great too.

We used the old school sports day for a hen do this weekend and it was amazing. Gareth the organiser did a fantastic job! The activities were great and were right up our street. We were a group of girls that are quite sporty, and Gareth really encouraged the competition between the teams. It was overall really well organised and I would definitely recommend to others! It was a fun, and different activity to do on a hen do!

We recently booked a sports team event for an away day of Turbo-10 cricket. The company were responsive and prompt and everything looked to be going well. My only complaint is the official managing our match had no idea how to play the game so wasn’t much use. As we’re very competitive, a loose interpretation of the rules was very frustrating.

I cannot fault our lovely party host, but for £600 I was expecting more. The props and nerf guns I could of done myself for a fraction of the cost. Lesson learnt. Next time I will.

I just wanted to say a fantastic time was had by all at our recent work's Team Building event. We did the Crystal Challenge with 8 teams. Everyone enjoyed the whole afternoon and the Red Cactus team were great. Thanks again.

The booking process was great and the staff on the day were great, but foot darts really did not offer value for money. For an hour and 15 people that cost was about £35 each. What people got for their money in that hour was about 5 or 6 kicks of the ball each. In theory a great activity, but in practice very very disappointing.

Re organisations response: foot darts absolutely was for us and we enjoyed it, it was just wildly overpriced by any objective standard.

A huge thank you to the team who looked after us at our old school sports day. They were so accommodating and friendly! We ran late and then had some issues getting people into teams but the team leader took charge and got us sorted quickly and easily! Everyone loved taking part in the games and everything from organising the event to the set up of the day were great.

Booked combat archery in Nottingham for a Stag Do.

We turned up late by 10 minutes so missed the safety brief which was our fault.
We had bruises on our arms from the bow whip back as we didn't get given the arm safety equipment.
Some of the arrows were missing their tips so were unusable.
There was no obstacles for the archery. It was just open ground where we essentially shot each other from either end of a small 5 aside pitch. Not as advertised
The last game where we had to find hidden objects in this open pitch was terrible.

Would not recommend or do again and was not worth the £33 per person.

5 stars for Red Cactus, they were brilliant throughout, super helpful, accommodating and happy to answer any questions. If we had to book anything again we would use this company!

The party boat was ok, not something we would do again, 2 boats left the dock at the same time the other was full and lively, ours only had about 80 people so not the same atmosphere, maybe we choose a quiet evening!

The buffet wasn’t that great either… none of our group ate much of it at all and it wasn’t presented in a great way either!

We have to say that one of the ladies on the boat was so lovely and a real credit to the company!

We recently attended the life drawing in Leicester. Our host/model were on time, professional and made our time very enjoyable. I would definately recommend using them. Lots of giggles during out time.

Olympic shames - was a great activity!
Didn’t stop laughing through out, got some good competition going during our hen do!
We managed to get plenty of games in during our hour.
Our host Adam, was amazing! Considering it was his first time hosting the games he was such a laugh!!
If you want some healthy competition, some silly games and just a general laugh then I’d highly recommend

We had a stag party booked for zorb football and quidich but the quidich stuff Got nicked out of storage so we decided dodge ball top day out legit company willing to trust again

If your thinking it over not sure who to go for I highly recommend red cactus.

I made a short notice booking for a life drawing class and it exceeded everyone's expectations.

The host and model were absolutely incredible from games to banter they kept the vibe high the whole session.

Thank you guys we had an amazing time

The Old School Sports Day was great fun! We booked for a hen do and although not all equipment advertised was there on the day, the activity catered for all ages and was enjoyed by all.

Having planned zorbing for a friend's stag do, we were all very disappointed when the zorbing activity didn't happen. We drove to the address but no one was waiting for us. I called three emergency numbers provided, two were not valid numbers and one went to voicemail. We sat around calling and emailing any contact we could find but didn't get a reply for two days. A very poor effort, I would not recommend.

If this review was for Elly our dance instructor alone, it would have been five stars. She really was amazing, pitched the class perfectly and had put so much thought and effort into the routine and our experience. She was very sweet and very kind and great at teaching dance.

I knocked two stars off due to the building and facilities. Firstly, had it not been for a member of our group providing the 4G, we wouldn't have had any music. Secondly, it was quite a shabby church hall, not a mirrored dance studio as photographed and pitched in the marketing. The company should have given a heads up about the location and maybe reduced the cost.

I would most defiantly book another event with Elly but want to know about the location.

The lads were happy and it was a bit of fun shocking each other for an hour.
Just a few things I think need improving.
There were only 2 pitches being used out of about 14 pitches. Both were right next to each other. One being a little league of some kind and the other us.... a bunch of lads on a stag with electric shock straps on our legs.... so you can imagine the language we used.
The instructor was alright. Pretty much left to our own devices. I think the setting up of the shocks take out a lot of the time playing.
Last thing was that not all the shock straps worked as well as others. Either because of charging or maybe other issues.

For my sisters hen do we did the old school sports day at Powerleague. Mike was our coach and he just absolutely made the activity for us, remembered everyone's names and included everyone! Had us all in stitches in laughing, would definitely come back, the games were suitable for all ages and we had such a laugh throughout in our teams, highly recommend!

Our session of archery combat was great fun - we all had a laugh and really got into the competitive spirit of it. Jamie, who ran the session was very friendly and did a good job of running the session especially after a long drive to be there. I would definitely recommend it - made for a great birthday activity.

Booked zorb football for my 21st birthday. Got over 10 of my friends from Uni to come back home to Northampton to play. We all arrived at the event, no one turned up, didn’t even get offered a free event or compensation for the multiple train tickets etc… just a refund or to run the event at a different date, which is impossible because getting my mates down in the first place was hard enough.

Our event co-ordinators when i called him just said “oh crap, let me call you back” and never did.

Would never recommend booking through here, awfully run company.
