Abindon Display - appalling
If I could give a zero star rating, I would. Well organised on arrival, swiftly parked. Very expensive, poor quality food - whoever heard of a hotdog without onions? There were insufficient toilets or bins. Very late starting the firework display, although truly amazing display. So some minor irritations until we tried to leave. Even as the fireworks finished at 9pm, huge queues had already formed, wide rivers of red tail lights as far as the eye could see. The car park turned into an absolute free for all, with no sign of any stewards to keep order. After a couple of hours, drivers were giving up on trying to queue, driving randomly across the grass creating yet more chaos towards the exit. Along the side of the "road", barriers of some description were removed and "fast lane" created for those who were brave enough to drive in rougher areas. Tempers became very fraught and several times we thought that a physical fight was imminent. It is obvious that the event was organised to get people in and spending money and once that was accomplished, the organisers of the event lost complete interest making sure that the exit was as swift as possible. I consider that this event was very poorly organised and possibly dangerous. I would also like to see published the risk assessment for this event. Had there been any kind of medical emergency, I would like to know how an ambulance would have got out of the venue - or indeed in, as there was no signage to suggest emergency medical support was available on site. Never again will we attend any event organised by this company.
