What a DISASTER.
Abingdon bonfire night, what a complete disaster. The event had been way oversold and very poorly planned out. With a lack of stewards throughout the event the whole evening seemed somewhat chaotic. We witnessed several lost children with no one on hand to help or even a muster point that we could take the child to! The lack of toilets was one thing, but with the toilets being that heavily used & no one there to check/clean them was madness. Again with a lack of rubbish bins the amount of litter scattered though out the site was appalling. The firework display was over 30mins late starting and then when it did start it stoped half way though with very little info from the announcer as to what was happening. As always at these events the fireworks were fantastic and I can not praise the display enough. Unfortunately that is the only good part. When the fireworks finished we then started on the 30minuet walk back to the car, most of which in the pitch black. Cars racing everywhere in between parked cars desperately trying to beat the queues made this part of the night SEVERALLY DANGEROUS. With family’s and children all over I will be surprised if no one was hurt. Once we made it to the car we then had to endure the nearly TWO HOUR free fall to try and get off site. With literally NO stewards any where to be seen it was complete and utter chaos. Horns blasting, people shouting and tempers rising with two scared young children in the car was the worst part of our evening. Never again!!
