"My party of 21 from Shell Cove, Dawlish (young and older, all dressed in Hawaiian shirts) had a fabulous time at Sheldon on 5th August at the Beach Boys Inc. concert. It was a great show, considerably helped by the courteous, friendly and thoughtful stewarding. We were also delighted to see how well the ground had recovered, no doubt with work from the Sheldon team, after several days of heavy rain in the preceding week. We are all looking forward to next year."
 
"My husband & I visited Sheldon for the first time to see Dire Traits which we thoroughly enjoyed. We found your staff most helpful & friendly, & we look forward to our next visit."
 
"I visited Sheldon for the first time recently to see dIRE tRAITS. I came with friends and enjoyed the theatre, the music and surroundings. I found all of your staff very friendly and helpful. thanks for a great night out"
 
"The Rollin Clones were brilliant last night I thought!"
 
"Wow what a wonderful evening we had last night, despite the earlier weather it turned out to be a glorious evening. Congrats to you all at Sheldon, the venue was amazing so well organised and such friendly stewards & staff. We will definetly be back."
 

"Thank you for providing an excellent evening to see the Rolling Clones.  We had a thourally enjoyable evening and it was our first time of visiting your venue. Keep up the good work."

 
"Dear all. We enjoyed the concert last Wednesday (Rollin' Clones) and want to thank you all for the wonderful assistance of all your people. The weather line was so valuable."

Hi,I just wanted to say what a fantastic concert last night [Abba] even in the rain,well done to you all, I cant wait for wednesday!!!!!!!!!
 
We had such a lovely evening at the Diamondogz concert. What a beautiful theatre you have! And it's really interesting all the other stuff you do. I've never come across anywhere like it before.
 
Had fantastic time last night [Diamondogz]. Just finished cleaning all mud off shoes, coats, blankets etc! So lucky it didnt rain. Third year of coming and as usual excellent welcome from all staff and everyone had great time despite all the squelchy mud!! See you next year
 
Having attened the Fab beatles this year and Diamond Dogz in previous years, I must say how much my family and I enjoy Sheldon concerts. We holiday at Shell Cove each year, between Dawlish and Teignmouth and always come to Sheldon. It would be great if you could book Beach Boys for Wednesday 5th August. Finally we really appreciated the changes to stage, drainage and seating this year.
 
I HAVE BEEN COMING TO SHELDON FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS AND BELIEVE THAT IT IS ONE OF DEVON BEST KEPT SECRETS. THE CONCERTS ARE FANTASTIC AND THE STAFF BRILLIANT, ALWAYS SMILING AND VERY HELPFUL. LOOKING FOWARD TO WED FOR THE FAB BEATLES...HOPE THE WEATHER IMPROVES AND IF NOT WE STILL WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME.
 
Thank you for providing such an important ministry [donation enclosed]. The concerts are great too.
 
Sorry- cannot make [Fab Beatles] but LOVED the ABBa show
My first visit to Sheldon and NOT my last!!
Well doen indeed- everyone so helpful and friendly and very well organized
 
Many thanks.  Our group has enjoyed the Rat Pack and Abba very much this year
 
Prom from Scratch 2008
We thoroughly enjoyed the evening despite it not being full.Well balanced programme by talented performers who obviously enjoyed themselves.I was one of the audience with a pith helmet and Union Flag.
Thank you so much for all your hard work last night, and in the months before to make last night so wonderful for all who took part. If you do it again (!) perhaps it would be possible to have more singers as the wonderful new stage area is so big. I know three people who didn't sing because they were told the choir places were filled, and this was such a shame... More choir would have improved the event for me, but I would still like to thank you very much indeed for a wonderful and memorable evening and I look forward to another.

Many thanks for great nights this summer in your Open Air Theatre. We came to see Joey the Lips and Diamondogz this year and both evenings were fantastic. Even the little shower during Joey's evening and the lovely mud at the Dogz night didn't spoil anyone's enjoyment. Congratulations once again to all the staff - it is a pleasure to visit your theatre and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
 
Just to say thank you for last evening - a marvellous occasion - and congratulations on the excellent emergency procedures: very well done. You always hope you won't need them, but when you do ...
 
Dear All. The 'Beach Boys' concert was so good - super band, marvellous atmosphere, and the burgers went down well too. We all had a great time, and particularly appreciated the special Sheldon touch of getting the rain to stop for the performance. Just enough mud around to provide a little taste of Glastonbury for the ageing hippies - perfect! Thanks again.
 
Hi. Just to let you know how much we enjoyed last night - we have seen Diamondogz loads of times but last night was one of the best! The setting is fantastic and the atmosphere was brilliant! Well done to all the staff for contributing to a fantastic night - we will definitely be coming out to see you again.Thankyou.
 
Hello, Just a few words to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed myself when i visited you for the first time this week to see The Fab beatles. Excellent in every way I will definitely come to see you again. brilliant setting, brilliant staff team, just idyllic thank you.
 
What a unique setting! The music, the relaxed atmosphere, the situation, very friendly team, excellent band [Diamondogz] space for dancing. Fantastic!!
 
Unusual setting, friendly atmosphere, like a festival - got even better as it got darker.
 
We all thoroughly enjoyed the concert yesterday evening [Diamondogz].  The band were brilliant and all of us (including the boys) had a great time on the dance floor. It was a brilliant atmosphere bringing back all those memories of the 70's!
 
Just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed the 'Fab Beatles' in the open air at the wonderful amphitheatre at Sheldon.  Every time we visit, whether it be to pick up happy kids after a Fun Club residential or for a performance in the outdoor woodland setting, there is always something new you have developed (and in such  a sympathetic way) - you have a gem of a facility and resource in Sheldon...thank you!!
 
Thank you for providing such a great evening last night - [my son] and his granny were even spotted dancing to a couple of numbers !!
 
Just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed the evening - familiar music, chance to dance, the enthusiasm of the band. Thanks to everyone for a great night out.
 
Just to say thank you for such an enjoyable evening when we came to see Gordon Haskell. We had hoped to come back to see The Fab Beatles but, unfortunately, we were unable to make it. We just felt we had to say how much we did enjoy our evening and how we found Sheldon to be such an oasis of tranquility in this very hectic world! Thank you.
 
I just want to make sure we are on your mailing list. We had a great time both last night when we came to see The Fab Beatles and also on 13th July when we saw the Melanesian Brothers. The setting for the theatre is fabulous, the acoustics excellent (how nice to go to a concert and not come away with your ears ringing!!) and the BBQ food delicious. Both performances were superb, though very different. The passion play I'm sure left hardly a dry eye in the place! We were disappointed not to be able to see Dire Traits last week, but the weather was a bit exceptional, and last night more than made up for it ....
 
Just wanted to say, on behalf of all my friends, how much we enjoyed the concert tonight [The Rat Pack] - they were brilliant! What a loss to all those who didn't go!
