Xplosive Events Reviews 

Everything was great! Apart from the extortionate prices of the fair ground £5 per person per ride is just too much! And greedy

There was supposed to be a helicopter and balloon but the wind was so strong that I think these attractions were not included anymore, unfortunately I did not see any information or updates on this from the organisers. Everything was quite expensive. The kids will have fun because it is a fair but overall it is overpriced, not greatly organised, the bands are bad - keep the volume a bit down if the sound is so off it would have helped.

We went as a family of 7 including children. The cost was almost £200 for what ended being just a glorified fun fair you get in your local town (which you don’t pay entrance for). The tributes were subpar talent, in all honesty, I could sing better than that. The monster truck show was subpar and so short and it was so difficult to see as it was basically standing around a fence and already with 2-3 rows of people you could hardly see anything which was really disappointing. The tricks were so minimal I could’ve just watched the American monster trucks at home and be more entertained. I think if the event had cost less I wouldn’t be complaining but it was a huge cost at £34 pp for something that doesn’t deliver PLUS you have to pay for EVERYTHING in there including the rides, the monster truck rides etc. If I knew in advance and had read reviews in advance I wouldn’t have spent my hard earned money on something that didn’t leave me excited to go again the year after

I would love to say that this is the perfect event for the family but the awful organisation ( or lack of) of the car parking made us never want to to go back. It was bad enough to have to queue for 2 hrs to get into the event but the shambles in the carpark at the end was shocking. No car parking stewards in sight, no organisation. Absolute bedlam. Do not go to this event until the organisers have a professional car parking team in place. Shame as the fireworks were great but would never go again.

Such an exciting day out at SpringFest! The motorbike stunts, live music, and delicious food made for a memorable family experience. A few hiccups with parking, but the amazing fireworks display more than made up for it.

Wow, just wow! The bonfire was massive, and the fireworks felt like something out of a movie. Perfect for families, especially with the quieter opening show for kids. I’m already excited to attend more Xplosive Events in the future!

Abingdon Fireworks were phenomenal! The synchronized light and sound show was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The kids had a blast at the funfair, and there was food to suit every taste. A truly magical experience all around!

The fireworks display was absolutely stunning, easily the best I’ve seen. The music added a magical touch, and the variety of food stalls and activities catered to all ages. Traffic was a bit hectic, but the experience more than made up for it. I’m already excited for next year!

Delicious food and a variety of activities kept everyone happy. Traffic delays were minor and expected. A well-organized event that I’d highly recommend to anyone seeking fun.

This event exceeded expectations! The bonfire was cozy, and the fireworks were breathtaking, especially with the synchronized music. Food options were abundant, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Traffic delays were minor and worth the experience. Highly recommend this event for an unforgettable evening. Will be back next year!

Everything about this event was top-notch. The fireworks display was mesmerizing, and the music added an extra layer of magic. Food and drinks were plentiful, with options for all tastes. Traffic management could improve slightly, but it didn’t spoil the experience. A fantastic evening for families and friends alike.

Hands down, the best fireworks display I’ve ever seen! Everything from the food vendors to the music and the stunning fireworks was well-planned. Highly recommend bringing chairs and blankets for the ultimate experience.

Abingdon Bonfire and Fireworks event was spectacular! The bonfire show was unique, and the fireworks were beautifully choreographed. It did take a while to leave, but that’s to be expected with such a large crowd. Amazing job by the team!

Loved every minute of the SummerFest. So much to do for all ages, and the fireworks display was breathtaking. A bit pricey for some food and rides, but the overall experience was worth every penny.

We had an unforgettable evening at the event. The bonfire created a cozy vibe, and the fireworks were a true spectacle. Food and drinks were reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was festive. Traffic delays were manageable. A perfect outing for families and friends. Can’t wait for the next one!

If you love fireworks, Xplosive Events is a must. The musical choreography of the display was on another level, and the staff were so friendly. Parking could use some improvement, but honestly, the event itself more than made up for it.

The event was seamless from start to finish. The fireworks display was spectacular, synchronized beautifully with the music. Food and drinks were abundant, and the atmosphere was lively. Traffic management could improve, but the experience was worth it. Definitely attending again next year. Highly recommend for families and friends alike!

First time at an Xplosive event, and we were amazed! The fireworks were the best we’ve ever seen, and the bonfire was massive and mesmerizing. Loved the non-alcoholic hot drinks for designated drivers. Well-organized and family-friendly. We’ll definitely be back.

Xplosive Events never disappoints! We attended SpringFest, and it was an absolute blast. The monster truck shows, live music, and great food options kept us entertained all day. Leaving took a while, but the fantastic memories made it worthwhile. Highly recommend!

What a lovely and exciting event, I would definitely recommend anyone goes it's group and family friendly, I will definitely be going again.

I went with some friends and we all found it pretty easy to get to and to get parking but we did come early as I knew the show ground access is from smaller roads so can cause delays if you come when everyone else is also trying to get in.

There was a Mega sized fun fair with endless fun for kiddos, there was a huge variety of food vendors ( my favourite TikkaTango).
There was also lovely drinks vendors with hot and cold drinks and they even had non alcoholic hot apple "cider" great for those of us who drive.

The show started with low sound fireworks (for kids) but this did not take from the beauty of the sparkly and colourful skylights.

The second part of the show was the Bonfire. How the bonfire was lit was a show in itself and then the sheer size of this bonfire was mind-blowing and mesmerising.

The main fireworks show was an amazing choreographed musical production. It was an enthralling display, that stimulated both visual and auditory senses. Beautiful, emotional and a lot of fun ( You know evocative shapes and colours a loads of vivid sounds dancing to the music) !!!!

Leaving took a bit of time (1h) but it's only logical if you think people for the show arrived between 3-7 but they nearly all wanted to leave once the show was over.
As I have been to a few different festivals and events I did come prepared with some snacks and good music.

There could maybe be some additional staff directing people out so that you don't get the people that cut in line.

Other tips:
You can bring camp chairs or pop tents and blankets and get yourself set up on a good spot to watch the show.

For the main display if you are noise sensitive (as one of my friends were) Loop earplugs definitely helps take the edge of the "loudness" and that way you get to enjoy the amazing display.
