What is the return on investment for running a bar or stand at Pub in the Park events?

Members' experiences with Pub in the Park events vary significantly by location. **Marlow was described as superb**, but most other venues have been reported as poor value. The core issue: attendees are primarily there to drink and eat the on-site offerings and listen to music, rather than seeking out new brands or producers. This limits footfall and engagement for stand operators, making ROI highly location-dependent. Members recommend evaluating each specific event's expected attendance, demographics, and drinking culture before committing, rather than assuming consistent returns across the season.
