Loving Cats WorldwideReviews of lcwwgroup.com

There are a lot of unnecessary negative reviews here. I have attended every LCWW event this year and would like to correct some ridiculous comments! Firstly The Manchester show had to be moved because the original venue double booked. LCWW did a great job in finding a replacement venue so the show could still go ahead. Amy… I have the Liverpool Show Report in front of me now and there were 82 cats covering 18 different breeds, not including the moggies in household pet. (Tell me you know nothing about cats without telling me you know nothing about cats) Lynn… I have the Brighton Show Report in front of me now and there were 77 cats covering 19 different breeds not including the moggies in household pet. The smell of wee is the entire males which spray, I blame the bengals 😂 I had soup and a roll, sandwiches, crisps and a coke during the weekend the food was served in the vendors room! Newbury was a late venue change due to the extortionate quote received from The NEC I believe. I feel that LCWW did their best to still put on a great show. The lack of heating issue has been taken on board and I hear that space heaters will be in place if the venue is ever used again. Ps all the exhibitors were warned about the temperature in advance of the show so extra snuggly blankets could be brought to keep the cats comfy. Overall for a relatively new cat registration I think that LCWW Group are doing a great job. Roll on next season 👏 Finally if anyone ever wants to come for a cuddle with cats, come and find Fantasipaws. We always have at least 5 cats with us from at least 3 different breeds.

We were looking forward to the Newbury event. Unfortunately it was held in a cold warehouses with no opportunities to buy a hot drink or a snack, although strangly you could buy a bottle of gin! Nice to see the loverly cats but it was mostly stalls selling stuff. Only worth seeing for a couple hours at most. Definitely no point buying a weekend ticket. Also confused because we were asked on entry if we had paid for parking. And as no mention of this when booking we obviously said no. It's normally free at Newbury showground

We were so disappointed with our visit to the Newbury show this weekend.. (once we finally found it!!) there was NO sign posting, we only managed to find it because a local happened to know where it was. First of all it was freezing, basically in a large cattle shed, the place had no atmosphere, it was mostly empty and had no entertainment. The competitors and their cats were lovely and let us see and pet their cats but other than that, just a lot of over priced cat toys and no clear structure to the day. My 2 young children we freezing not to mention the poor little kitties having to endure the cold temperatures all weekend! Not even anywhere to get a cup of tea!! Thank goodness I thought of bringing sandwiches for my kids. The catwalk was 40 mins late to start, which was probably the only enjoyable part of the show. After that we left and couldn't wait to warm up in the car!! Sorry we won't be back again and I wouldn't recommend it.

Brought tickets for the december birmingham show at nec ordered these in may 2024. I was emailed a few weeks ago to say the venue has changed...nowhere near birmingham but 80 miles away! I have requested a refund..quite a reasonable request... have contacted the company 5 times. I was promised a refund today..still nothing! Avoid.

I went to the Liverpool LCWW show and was really disappointed. I've been to locally run cat shows where they charge only £5 to get in, and so when I saw that this was £25 I was expecting a lot more. This event charges about as much as Crufts to get in! We were hugely disappointed because there was actually less going on than smaller cat shows. When we first entered the building, the hall was so sparse that I thought there was more than one room for the event. There were only a dozen or so vendors who were selling generic tat and 5 stations in the middle for judging. There were also only a dozen or so cats there, and only about 4 different breeds. Most of the people there with cats didn't really seem interested in speaking with people and kept to themselves. It was incredibly hard to hear the judges, and there was no programme so you had no idea what it was you were watching them judge. All in all I was hugely disappointed and really upset that I wasted so much money taking my family.

I purchased tickets and attended the Manchester LCWW catstravaganza show. I experienced two date reschedules but luckily I was able to make it work in the end. I did try to apply for a refund or credit prior to this but unfortunately got no response from customer service. About the show - I arrived a couple of hours after doors had opened and found no queue and was straight into the building. The staff greeting were very friendly and checked my email confirmation which was what I was told I would need to show to gain entry and stamped my hand to allow for re-entry as there was a street food truck outside. There were two main rooms, one full of vendors and charities and the other with the cats and the judging. There was also the catwalk that was in the middle of the vendors room. There were lots of different stalls at the event, including several selling pet products and food for cats as well as the stalls selling cat themed gifts and accessories. There were charities and rescues there giving information about adoption and donations, but none were pushy and the gentleman I chatted to at the Woodgreen stand was lovely. It was a good atmosphere in this room and wasn’t too crowded. There is a street food truck as previously stated outside and also a food and drink stall inside the venue. The queue was very long for this as it looked small. I didn’t purchase any food or drink so I can’t comment on cost or quality. The catwalk itself had three or four rows of chairs on each side and there were plenty empty for anyone looking to make sure they got a seat where they could see if they weren’t in a position to stand. I have read complaints about lack of seating or not being able to see but there seemed to simply not be enough space in the chosen room to add more seating. In the other room where the cats were was understandably busier. There were areas for each of the judges with a couple of rows of chairs in front to listen to them talking about each of the cats. The audio was very hard to hear - I do understand that they can’t have loud PA systems as this would scare the cats and also there are judging panels going on simultaneously so you wouldn’t be able to decipher anything at all if they all had loud mics. This appears to be a logistic issue and one that perhaps could be resolved going forward with choice of venue or set up. The cats I saw were adorable! Their owners all seemed very amenable to chatting about them and the breed. There were a lot of people trying to see each of the cats so it was hard to look at times. It seemed some of the more unusual breeds like Sphinx that perhaps aren’t seen as often were more popular. There are talks periodically about different breeds which are good opportunities to learn more about the cats you possibly don’t have as pets. I was concerned about welfare before attending but I don’t believe the cats were afraid in their judging kennels, rather most seemed to be asleep or bored. Overall I think the event has the potential to be better but issues with choice of venue really let it down. The BEC Arena is in a terrible location for public transport - I know there is a tram stop nearby but this involves a walk near a very fast roundabout and high speed roads which I don’t think is very safe for children or those with mobility issues. I am assuming the reasons for this location was cost and availability as it is concert season. The previous venue of the Victoria Warehouse I don’t imagine would’ve been much better. I think the set up and space allowed to each area could be improved. There is also a strange ‘vibe’ to the event that I can’t explain. I ended up leaving before the end. I don’t think I would attend the event again unless it was in a better location.

I have had the same experience. Purchased tickets for the event due to take place 16th June. When the date was changed to June 1st & 2nd I asked for a refund as we will be unable to attend. Have sent 4 emails which have not even been acknowledged. I am aware they have a non refundable ticket policy except in the event of a cancellation. They have, in effect, cancelled the event I purchased tickets for, and I would never have bought tickets had the dates had been advertised as 1/2 June at the outset. Update; I did, in the end, get a refund. Their email notifying me of this arrived the day after I had posted a letter to them at the address given in their advertisements. The following day my letter was returned to me by the company at that address, since the LCWW Group weren't at the address!

Avoid this company at all costs. Originally bought tickets in Jan for their Manchester show. Received an email few months later to say that they’ve changed the date, time and the venue which meant I could no longer attend. Sent an email to customer service requesting a refund but have been ignored. I’ve sent several emails now and all have been ignored, however I did receive another email to let me the know the date, time and venue have venue changed again! From reading reviews here and on Reddit it looks like the company is notorious for changing the date, time and venue several times and ignoring refund requests. Save your money.
